Feld on Investing and Newman on Entrepreneurship

Jon Hansen from PI Window on Business had so much fun with me a few weeks ago that he asked me to do another interview – this time on the dynamics around foreign investments.  We covered plenty of ground, including what country, state, and local governments do to slow down investments, along with a bunch of my own philosophy around why I only make VC investments in the US and Canada.  Buried deep in the interview is my track record making VC investments in European companies (hint: not pretty).

Entrepreneur Magazine made a swing through Boulder recently and did short interview videos with a bunch of the Boulder entrepreneurs.  If you aren’t exhausted after listening to an hour of me (or if you punted), take a quick two minute tour with Ari Newman of Filtrbox


Ari finishes strong with a great line – “If you aren’t doing something you love, life’s too short – there’s an opportunity cost.”  As a special bonus, Matt Galligan – the man who manages to be everywhere – is hanging out over Ari’s left shoulder.

    Yes, before the Internet, it was difficult for people to understand what you explained. But, you did a lot to get Hansen up to speed!

    Next time I'll pay more attention to the set/backdrop. ;-)

    Watched a movie quite like it, share with you here – '' The YES Movie'' created by the founder of The Young Entrepreneur Society Louis Lautman. He interviewed today's young entrepreneurs and their sucessful stories.
