Founders & Investors Toolkit 🧰: Pitch Deck Podcast

How I assess Founders & Companies

I recently spoke to my friend Nick Telson on the Pitch Deck Podcast.

It’s been 18 months since I was last on Nick’s podcast. In that time I have accelerated my angel investing and my portfolio has more than tripled. The way I assess founders and startups has also completely changed.

In this podcast Nick and I talk about:

1. How I assess founders

2. One test you don’t want to fail

3. How important is intelligence in a founder?

4. The goal of your deck is not to raise money

5. The highest leverage investment you can make as an early stage founder

6. The number 1 reason for startup failure
