His book, "Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups," is published by HarperBusiness.
Calacanis and Google Research Operations Manager Heath Row discuss the skills needed to pick a hit investment, what to look for in founders and investment opportunities, why VC should be democratized, and the difference between Silicon Alley, the Digital Coast, and Silicon Valley.

Jason’s main philosophy in a nutshell: if you don’t keep trying, taking risks, luck won’t come your way.

@JasonNathanael 2 года назад

Love all the principles and perspectives on angel investing by Jason. One interesting thing is when he said that Snapchat is a 5 billion dollar company, and probably not a 10 billion one. 5 years later today it's a 120 billion dollar company. It's insane!

i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

This is very accurate. I used to run a startup and have had legit mental health problems since then. Depression, anxiety, insomnia etc. It's very manageable for me. But I can imagine some people go off the deep end after running/founding a startup. It is nothing like the media makes it seem.

@azackmatoff2570 2 года назад

People don't really get how hard it's to start and run a startup. Believe me, it may ruin your life or at least fk you up mentally. It's nothing like cool as it's painted in the media.

10:05 It's very hard to be the founder - you don't sleep at night, you have 6wks to 12mo's runway, your product is probably under assault from competitors, you've got to convince people to come to your company, and they're probably with you only 6 months and leave. Most days as the founder are generally hard. It's a hard life, and it never gets easier. 18:20 All of the great change in the world comes from startups.

lol. With investing and stuff, I went completely all-in four years ago without knowing anything by that time, and yes the learning part really does happen differently and I would say quicker because one puts himself into survival mode. Whenever I made profits Id never before seen on my bank account, it did not touch my bank account long before going straight to other investment opportunitites that offered themselves (secondary market of a startup for example someone offered shares at ground floor. So I made 7K with an nft which costed me 60, the 7000 I'd put into shares of the back then startup, and the total amount now is woth +18.5K now. that's +300X !). I'm just moving numbers and trying to enlarge them. A couple of Bond movies did that to me.

So how does one get involved in syndicates where one can actually invest only $1,000 in startups to start?

@westsidecater 5 лет назад

@@henrylee2417 isn't that only accredited?

@henrylee2417 5 лет назад

Scott Sycamore for later investments ($100k+) yes but there are options where you can invest alongside more experienced angels in syndication funds in the $20k range

"... Bitcoin is probably one of the most massively manipulated currencies in the world - or one of the most manipulated things in the world." The humble beginnings and ideals of a decentralized cryptocurrency have certainly morphed into something else entirely. I have high hopes that future projects will have better success. Bitcoin was a great attempt.

People don't really get how hard it's to start and run a startup. Believe me, it may ruin your life or at least fk you up mentally. It's nothing like as it's painted in the media. You wanna become next Zuck or become the next billionaire, good for you. Give it a try, though above-mentioned goals are not the kind of factors that usually makes you a success.
