The course aims to create thoughtful angel investors who make informed decisions and build better relationships with the companies they invest in, and I invest when I get excited about a company, believing I can always help because I've seen so many companies over my thirteen years of angel investing.

As an investor, I'm particularly interested in great ideas that I haven't thought of yet, especially in networks and marketplaces, which I know well. A great entrepreneur often has a fascinating idea that can scale to millions or hundreds of millions of people, positively impacting lives and changing the human ecosystem.

I invest because I love meeting great founders and helping them succeed, not just for the money. I find it incredibly satisfying to give advice to founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page in their early years and then watch their companies take off, knowing I contributed to their success.

I focus on investing in startups with large markets and relentless founders, as these factors are crucial for success. I admire solo founders who can persevere for a year or longer by themselves, as it's already hard enough to go through the startup journey alone.

I was always interested in startups and didn't like the idea of working for someone else; I wanted to create cool new inventions and make a lot of money.

Elon Musk's approach to innovation across various industries shows that challenging conventional wisdom can lead to breakthroughs and progress, and his consistency in what he says publicly and privately, similar to Donald Trump, makes him a powerful leader who can catalyze social change by voicing beliefs that many others share but are afraid to express.

Having been a founder myself helps me as an investor because I understand the challenges and can identify kindred spirits among entrepreneurs.

At Y Combinator, I was inspired by the ambitious mindset of other founders, which contrasted sharply with the skepticism we faced before. It motivated me to fully commit to making Watsi a reality.

Entrepreneurship is about envisioning how the world can be different and better, and feeling empowered to make those changes, which has driven my passion from a young age.
