The best proof of a soft circle is whether an angel will email someone else (refer another investor) and start off that email with “I’m investing in…”. Entrepreneurs should also use social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) If they’re not willing to do this then you probably don’t have a real soft circle.
