Many billion-dollar markets are still at the beginning of digitization, but have everything you could want: customers, sales, international distribution, and often market or technology leadership. Do employees of these companies found startups that are interesting for angels? Or researchers and scientists who are close to innovative materials and processes? Is that a segment where you can already find investment opportunities today – or is it true when critics say that established companies and their employees are doing far too well to create such opportunities?
