#1474 Jason Calcanis, Angel
For years, I wanted to ask Jason Calacanis a few things.
Like, how is it that after his company, Mahalo, took a ton of painful hits he still kept acting like each new idea he had was sure to be the one? Was it an act? Or something innate about the guy?
Or, if he’s an Angel who can help guide startups to huge success, then why didn’t his companies ever have that level of success?
What I love about Jason is that he digs these kinds of questions. (He waved me off before the interview when I tried to tell him the direction I planned to take.) So when I interviewed him about his book, Angel, I spent over an hour asking.
Jason Calacanis is a serial entrepreneur, podcaster and angel investor.
He recently published the book, Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups-Timeless Advice from an Angel Investor Who Turned $100,000 into $100,000,000
