Investing is more than just throwing money at some companies that look promising. You have to be mission-driven and learn strategies for evaluating startup investment opportunities.

One way of doing it successfully is by focusing on experienced founders who work in startups aligned with your values. Today's guest will explain clearly how to achieve this goal.

Ari Tulla is a Finnish entrepreneur based in San Francisco. He's been all over the world as a serial entrepreneur, father, investor in more than 40 startups, and even a professional video game player in the 90s.
