Start-Ups and SPACs w. Douglas Ellenoff


Listen Later

Losing money is always going to be a part of the venture capital game. However, it’s how the money is lost that matters.


With 30 years of experience as a securities lawyer working regularly with entrepreneurs, and as the founder of two legal-tech companies; Doug Ellenoff has a wealth of knowledge to share which will benefit anyone in the start-up world. His goal is to help entrepreneurs raise capital in a way that is socially responsible and protects investors; and everyone should be on-board with this mission. Doug is a firm believer that having more public companies than private ones signals a healthy system, and that crowdfunding is a perfectly acceptable mechanism which can be used to get there. 

During this conversation we discuss SPACs in detail, how Canada’s venture capital system compares to the one in the US, and why over-communication is better than its opposite when it comes to dealing with investors.  It takes a lot to be an entrepreneur, and it is a huge responsibility to take people’s money. Unfortunately, the majority of start-up’s don’t make it “to the end of the rainbow”, but Doug is certainly doing his best to help as many as possible along their journey.
