发布时间 2017-10-25 04:41:21 来源
摘要
Pure hustle, tireless fighting, and (sometimes) unadulterated dumb luck are just a few of the reasons why this star investor panel has succeeded when others have failed. Filmed at LAUNCH SCALE 2017, Ben Narasin (NEA), Arlan Hamilton (Backstage Capital) & Zach Coelius (Angel, Syndicate Lead) share what motivates them to make bets, the specific qualities in founders they come back to again and again, lessons from 80+ investments w/50% Series A conversations & 3 unicorns (Ben), from selling candy to building a portfolio of 55+ startups (Arlan), to hitting a $1b exit in just 2 years as an angel (Zach), and market outlook for 2017 and beyond.
