Angel investor Paul Silva has an idea about how to help startups after they exit accelerators. Launch413 is taking the friction out of getting and giving advice to founders. Great chat with a fun guest who is also a listener.

Highlights:

Sal Daher Introduces Angel Investor Paul Silva
“…because they're a first-time founder, so they're going to make all the first-timer mistakes. We don't want to pay the tuition bill for them to learn, right?”
“…a lot of great founders out there that don't…have access to those things, and so angels…say no because they're inexperienced. That drove me nuts. That was the problem that inspired Launch413.”
“…providing each of our entrepreneurs a virtual C-suite of executive coaches.”
“…we get compensation…through a royalty sharing agreement with the entrepreneurs. We don't take any equity.”
