S9E9: How Can Investors TRUST Entrepreneurs Enough to Invest?

You may know that I was (still am) a serial entrepreneur. You may not know that I was one of the founding members of the North Texas Angel (investor) Network, and made investments in startup companies. Startup companies heavily depend on investments from Angel investors. But investing in a company in such an early stage is a high-risk proposition. You may lose your entire investment.

Trust plays a major role in making that investment decision.

In this episode, I am happy to introduce a friend of mine, one of the early members of the North Texas Angel Network, a serial entrepreneur himself, and a serial angel investor, Jim Fontaine.

Together, we will discuss how angel investors decide if they trust the entrepreneur enough to invest in their startup company in such an early, risky stage.
