What an angel investor looks for in a startup and the role of education in entrepreneurship, with John Richards of Startup Ignition (Ep 51)

Today's guest, John Richards, has a ton of things going on. He’s a prolific angel investor and has invested in companies such as Omniture, Domo, FundersClub, and many others. John founded the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology at Brigham Young University, and most recently co-founded Startup Ignition with his son to teach budding entrepreneurs what they need to know to launch a startup. If Startup Ignition or the last name Richards sound familiar, that might be because I spoke with John’s son, Tyler Richards, in episode 40. We're going to learn how the Lean Startup model helps angel investors find success, the role of higher education in entrepreneurship, and how Dynamic Equity can help co-founders in a growing startup avoid common points of conflict.
