		<description>That is a really interesting point Alex.

I think the reality is the most professional angels will look to invest in both. The structure is what you might call the qualitative - measureable part; the entrepreneur is the soft / quantitative part, and therefore needs to be handled in a very different way.

Getting the balance between these two perspectives is what is important.

In fact, there is also a view that a third aspect needs to be solved before a start up can be successful - and that is the mix of people who support the business. They too need to be right, and the team needs to fit together and they all need the right motivations...

Nevertheless, your question neatly poses a tough question.

		<description>I noted that many Business Angels seem to invest in company structures rather than in individuals.</description>
