How A Serial Entrepreneur Cum Angel Investor Thinks About Startups

How A Serial Entrepreneur Cum Angel Investor Thinks About Startups

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Greg Besner, Founder and CEO at CultureIQ. Greg is a serial entrepreneur and an angel investor. We discussed both his journey as an entrepreneur, lessons thereof, as well as his methodology and philosophy of angel investing.

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:

WT InfoTech

As for the pitches, up first, Tarun Sainani from Lancaster, UK, pitched WT InfoTech. Tarun has a mobile app that has been live on Android and iOS for five years. While the app has a good number of downloads, it needs to monetize a lot better. We discussed the strategy.

BizSkills Academy

Next Norman Musengimana from London, UK, pitched BizSkills Academy, an online learning platform for training students who study at vocational training schools (e.g. plumbing, motor mechanics, etc.) in business skills. The business needs validation.

JAWK Softwares

Then, Santosh Chandak from Pune, India, pitched JAWK Softwares, an outsourced software product development firm that is doing ~$400k a year in revenue and is looking to scale.
