I had one of the legends of angel and seed investing on Uncapped, @RonConway. He's the founder of SV Angel been an early backer of companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, and many more.
We talked about the evolution of tech, being an actively involved investor, the power of being a relationship broker, fighting hard for founders, and some of his stronger feeling in politics.
It was a pleasure to sit down with him. (Also fun to record a podcast episode at a live event, thank you TrueBridge)
