- Lessons learned from building 8 cohorts and value prop comparison then and now
- Brian’s vision for the Angel Squad
- The story behind the creation of his Lyft angel syndicate
- What Brian looks for in a deal and some investing advice for marketplaces
- Framework of finding a niche and building an unfair advantage
- Brian’s advice for angel investors who’re getting started
