How do you see these two sentences resolving into a single company that you would fund?
> A normal first check from me ranges from $50k to $250k.
> I’m very bullish on a capital-heavy, asset-full future for startups.
> A normal first check from me ranges from $50k to $250k.

Angel investors almost never provide the bulk of the capital for a startup. We provide initial money, advise, and introductions to help raise more. So, yes, I expect the bulk of the "heavy capital" to come from institutional investors in later rounds.
Also note that I invest in follow-on rounds, so my total investment in a startup might get much larger than $250k.
Team? Progress so far? Clear road map? PoC & tech feasibility?
You might have an opportunity to get funded by him. Don't rely on this comment on HN to hope he asks for details; go get him :)
