The Snipe Hunt | Angels and Pinheads

https://smurchie.wordpress.com/2009/12/30/the-snipe-hunt

Musings on the niceties and not-so-niceties of angel investing. Growing up in California, I spent a lot of time in the High Sierra at a family cabin. One of the popular games the parents organized was “hunting snipes”: taking the kids out after dark armed with paper bags and flashlights, stomping around in the woods shouting “Here snipe!
