Justin Jia is Co-Founder & CEO of Project Unicorn, a new way for startup founders to meet investors. Today, it's not obvious how to meet angel investors, VCs, and advisors. Plus there is plenty of people claiming to be investors that really are there just to bleed companies dry. Justin and his team are solving that problem.
We discuss why he started a startup community on Slack, the attraction for top-tier VCs to join, the irrationality it takes to join a startup, finding the right role for yourself, and having high levels of conviction and self-awareness.
