As such, they may be more likely to give their time to a startup since they enjoy it.  Though VCs can certainly add value, they're often not as passionate about it as angels that were prior entrepreneurs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I love talking to startups and enjoy the entrepreneurial process.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dharmesh Shah</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:13:55 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
