In this week’s Quick Coffee, we are chatting about our journey of becoming angel investors. Patrick and I have spent a significant amount of our time into finding and choosing the right founders to invest in and have made major learnings along the way. Everything from what angel investing truly means all the way to shaping your personal brand as an investor and fundamentally understanding what it means to make an investment into a seed stage company. We are truly excited about this episode and hope it can serve as a gate opener for founders and entrepreneurs who are interested in starting their own investment journey. Being an investor to us is less about the financial outcome, but more about the journey of constantly being surrounded by other passionate people who are building remarkable products.
