A lot of people need forms built, and developers usually charge a lot of money to build them.

We thought the same thing until It took the 3 of us 6 solid months of programming to launch. It then takes awhile for a product to generate enough revenues to support 3 people. If we were bootstrapping, it would have taken much longer to launch, and we wouldn’t have been able to work solely on Wufoo for the last year. We’re happy with the decision to trade equity for time.

It's definitely tricky to find the right balance between an angel investor being too hands-on versus being totally hands off. The hands-off situation might look more appealing at first, but then you're missing out on the value provided by an interested third party.</p> Great post about Angels!
