Here you have some of the stuff I have been reading the last couple of days and hope you find some relevant stories. This week I have been busy planning the next EntraHouse.com 12-week online pre-accelerator program. If some of you would like to tap into this deal flow, participate as mentors, etc., let me know.
As a curator, I want feedback on what you think should be the focus of this newsletter, and I promise your voice will be apprehended. Please send me exciting news, deals, tools, etc. and if you are on Twitter feel free to connect with me at @vikinangels.
Keep on investing! Warm regards and enjoy your weekend,

- What value can an investor add? Help with hiring, firing, biz dev (sales), raising money and in some rare circumstances, coaching/mentoring. But if you ask most investees how many of their investors are engaged, available, and helping move the needle, most would tell you not many.

- In the long term, we want Mimo to become the leading source for mobile education, a place where you can dive into almost anything, in a learning style that is a lot closer to a game than old-school textbooks or video lectures.

- If you’re a Bay Area local, chances are you’ve had a run-in with these not-so-small four-legged monsters. When I moved into my house, raccoons would run wild in my front yard almost every night, tipping over trash cans and scaring my dog. Being an IoT enthusiast, I decided to create a device to secure my yard. The result was a motion-detecting squirt gun, capable of sensing and scaring off the invaders.

- On Friday, the USCIS proposed The International Entrepreneurs Rule. While this is a proposal subject to a public comment period, I expect it will go into effect in about 45 days. We finally will have a startup visa!

- Let me offer you an insider’s take. VCs strangely never seem to weigh in on other VC funds. I have no incentive to do so other than to help those reading the WSJ piece better understand how I believe most insiders think. As an entrepreneur I never really knew what to make of VC return data. Now from Both Sides of the Table I know a thing or two.
