In today’s episode, I talk to Anand Sanwal of the market research company, CB Insights.

Anand bootstrapped CB Insights for 6 years… And now it’s worth over $100 million dollars!!!

He’s a really impressive guy and knows a thing or two about growing a company.

This episode also goes into the current state of the startup market, the importance of defining the right priorities for your business, and why every business SHOULDN’T appeal to every customer.

Check out Anand Sanwal on Twitter at @asanwal.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn about the data that’s driving businesses forward, you’ll love this episode.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

- The difference between good ideas and bad ideas, and why you need to be able to identify them

- The fiction book that taught Anand the MOST about business

- And the ONE sub-market that’s raising a TON of money right now

Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
