Last week, I had a chance to do one of my favorite things: chat with awesome entrepreneurs!

The venue was Starta VC, an early-stage venture firm based in New York City. Their accelerator brings great entrepreneurs from abroad to the US for an intensive program on building startups, American-style.
These young founders asked some great questions. Some interesting moments:
1:25: Sector-specific investors vs. generalists
2:14: FTX collapse
5:24: How angel syndicates work.
7:13: A trick I stole from Benchmark.
7:53: How I choose startups.
12:41: What’s going on in today’s market.
16:40: The one thing founders should never do.
24:33: Big Tech layoffs.
30:09: How to write cold emails that actually get a response.
33:41: Why AR will beat the metaverse.
42:17: Elon and the Twitter deal.
Thanks to Starta for the invite!
