Your time is valuable, and you need to minimize the chance of wasting your time with investors who will not invest in your startup.
Our guest, Alex Iskold, is a 4x founder, a software engineer, an investor in over 150 startups, and the Founder and a Managing Partner at 2048 Ventures, where he leads pre-seed rounds, backs visionary founders who are creating technologies of the future, with a specific focus on biotech, deep tech, platform and API companies.
Alex writes one of the top startup blogs (a personal fave!), called Startup Hacks, and is a life-long learner and deeply interested in Complexity Science and Systems Thinking. (https://www.startuphacks.vc/)
Prior to founding 2048 Ventures, Alex spent 5 years at Techstars as the Managing Director of its NYC program. He was also the founder and CEO of Info Lab (acquired by IBM), founder and CEO of GetGlue (backed by USV, RRE, Time Warner), and a Chief Architect of distributed computing startup DataSynapse (acquired by TIBCO).
Alex currently serves as a Coach and a VC in Residence at the Harvard Business School, and he previously taught an award-winning undergraduate computer science class at NYU.
