There Is A Difference
Startup money is organized.
Bootstrapping
Friends and family
Angels - individual
Organized angels - like Hyde Park Angels
Seed money VCs
Series A, B, C, D VCs
They are further organized by church, side of the aisle, and pew -- meaning timing, industry, and special considerations such as deal size.
In spite of all this organization, expertise, and experience about 75% of all startups get flushed. WTF?

thing is, if you are an angel group you should not be initiating investment cycles at Series A. It's dumb money management.
