I agree that ROI is very important in investing but this is gamble that you have to take risk. You either win or loss, it's the percentage on how you win or loss is what you have to keep in mind. Investing is a risk and you should know how to play the game.

Angel investing is a high risk, high reward activity. There’s no such thing as a “sure-win.” In fact, you won’t get your money back on most of your investments. It’s the few homeruns that make up for the losses and give you a nice, handsome overall return. A typical exit is within 5 years.

You're return of investment is the most important part in considering investing in anything. If you aren't going to make money on it, why put money into it. You need to be sure that this is something that will make you money in the long run, but don't make the long run too long. I wouldn't want to have to wait 2 years to break even on an investment.
