What's more? He has also been an LP!

In this fireside chat we discuss:

⭐️ What motivated John's transition from being an entrepreneur to becoming an investor?

⭐️ What were some key learnings in the entrepreneurial journey and how they shaped John's approach as an investor? 

⭐️ How do you identify promising startup opportunities as an investor?

⭐️ How do you mitigate risk as an investor?

⭐️ What role do networking and building relationships play in your journey as an entrepreneur and investor?

⭐️ What are some common mistakes that founders make during the fundraising process, and how can they avoid them?

⭐️ Now that you are on the VC side of the table, is there something that you miss from your previous role as an entrepreneur?

⭐️ Given the present funding situation, how is Node VC seeing the market and what are their investment priorities?
