What’s awkwardly similar to startup investing?

Poker.

You must have enough on the table, that when your lucky break hits, you hit, big.

At least that’s the way Paul Martino sees it.

He’s the Founding Partner at Bullpen Capital, a six-time founder, and has a PhD from Princeton University.

He came on the Predicting the Turn podcast, hosted by our good friend Dave Knox, and we turned their episode into a #TakeoverTuesday episode for #FlipMyFunnel.

Here’s what we’re unpacking today:

• VC investing
• How investing in startups and playing poker are actually similar
• The irony that many VCs are not actually very disruptive
  
  

This #TakeoverTuesday post is based on an episode by Dave Knox, with special guest Paul Martino. If you’d like to listen to the full episode, you can check it out here and below.
