Abstract
Based on a sample of 539 angel investors, we empirically test the impact of new ventures’ resource acquisition/allocation strategies in different development stages on angels’ abnormal returns and their extremeness. Our exploratory findings suggest that at early stages of development, ventures whose entrepreneurs focus more on resource acquisition/allocation strategies tend to not only give angel investors lower returns, but also pull angel’s returns back to the industry average. Furthermore, these effects at early stages are more visible than those at late stages of the ventures.
