Few questions about angel investors...
New player here, never done the angel investor action yet. Is it worth pushing your initial build for some extra unlocks or are those reset when you sell all your businesses?

Do you keep your cash on hand when you do a reset? If so, how much should I stock up so I can get back up to speed quickly.

Lastly: What are some reccomended uses for one's first angels?

I'm currently being offered about 44, am thinking of pulling the trigger at 100, but I want to plan my moves out in advance.

On reset you lose everything except the angels, the moon unlock timer in the space program, the cosmetic swag items and some statistics like lifetime earnings and total angel spent so there's no need to prepare anything.
Recommendations for the first angels? Definitely keep 'em to progress further and faster.

100-120 is a reasonable first reset point. A lot of people recommend waiting later, but I'd rather get the 3x everything boost ASAP.

I wouldn't start spending angels until you have many tens of thousands. Just let them accumulate and earn you money faster.

The Lords of Hippo have suggested that you not spend more than 10% of your total AIs at a time and any AI sacrifice of 1%, or less, of your total is pretty nearly a sure thing. Additionally, anything over a payment totaling over 1% of AIs should bring up an "Are you sure you want to do that?" prompt.

And the Lords of Math have calculated that the suggestion from the Lords of Hippo is not that good and you rather should do the math on your own for each indiviual upgrade and situation.
Spending 10% for x2 for your least efficient business? Meh.
Spending 50% for x10 everything? Definitely!

They also offered that as the most baseline of suggestions with each situation being worthy of review on its own merit. I expect they'd agree with you that spending on the least efficient option, at any cost, probably indicates there are better options available.

Rules of Thumb are made to be a starting point, which was about the call here, and then broken when the user of said rule has the experieince to do so.

I am not sure when should I restart my business. I have 2135 and I will get 2155 if I restart now. This is how you get the recommended 2x right?

If what you will get is equal or above what you have, you will have at minimum doubled your investors. So, 2135 is what you have, 2155 is what you will get, you have doubled it. When in doubt, use a calculator, multiply what you have x2 to see what you should wait for until resetting. This strategy works on Earth, the moon is different.

Pulled the trigger at 252 investors and am happy with my rate of recovery. Thanks for all the advice guys!

Over 300 vigintillion angels in under 200 hr gameplay for me. I also found out the quick buy- and the EZ upgrade manager is a pretty pwn investment if u have the angels sitting for them. EZ also does remind upgrades in between cost gaps, which weren't shown in the first place, which means a LOAD of multipliers (even angel effectiveness ones (PWN squared!).

That way you will build into decillion++ cash in no time (not to mention exponential angel builds).

I am hitting a brick wall (8+ hrs waits) in the quinquadragintillion zone. This will solve in 2 days i expect..

What does the Kuick Buy manager do?

Means you don't have to click on every single upgrade to buy them - you click the Quick Buy button and it buys everything you can currently afford.

How is that different than just setting the upgrade tab to "Max"?

Quick buy manager is similar to the easy upgrade one that cost 1 angel and shows the upgrades near top right corner. Just it purchases every upgrade you can afford at once from the upgrade tab. It also allows you to safe buy angel upgrades so you do not spend more than recommended amounts. I do it since I'm lazy.

I'd like to know what determines how many angels you get? I started this game today as well... and hours later I could restart... for a single (1) angel investor. Seems kinda pointless to put hours into a game and seemingly making no progress. Oil platform seems far out of reach, I have a couple of banks but it takes an hour and a half to get anything out of them, which also seems pointless. A reset seems pointless for a puny 2% boost. What else am I supposed to do?

You are spreading this false/incomplete information in 3 threads now ...
Disappearing upgrades after resets are a known bug. Restart the game or switch earth moon earth to make them reappear.
Both, EZ and quik buy, are a waste of angels since they don't add anything new or improving. They just make you save some time.
