Every angel investor remembers their very first mark-up. Mine was Podia - the very first deal I sourced for the Uplyft Syndicate — 5+ years ago. It can take years to see your very first mark-up, so if you’re not there yet, don’t worry. But for my angels that have experienced it, share in the comments 👇

I honestly don’t remember the first markup, but definitely remember the first 0 as well as the first meaningful exit.
