I look at two things while angel investing. Are you solving an important problem? Do you care about the end users.

Company culture is the backbone of any successful organization.

You cannot underestimate the sharpness of people’s BS radar. They can spot a soulless, bureaucratic tactic a million miles away.

I measure my success by how happy I am, not how big the business is or how much money I've made.

I am thinking about launching a wine website where there is a deal and the crowd can dictate how cheap it can get.

I have no interest in going to Egypt and seeing the pyramids. I'm just not that kind of dude.

Too many companies think they want to do a video blog to sell merchandise, but if you turn your site into QVC, you lose. I have an audience that trusts me. It's about building a global brand - not selling four more bottles of Pinot Grigio.
