Customer Reviews
Insightful
Great substantive interviews, I look forward to hearing more!
Insights for Investors and Entrepreneurs!
I think it would be appropriate for me to say that I accidentally discovered this podcast. I started hunting for podcasts that were created specifically for venture capitalists, not because I am an investor, but because I wanted to gain the insights necessary to get my start ups funded. Harry is an excellent, well prepared interviewer who asks great questions. I especially enjoy the rapidfire round that he does at the end.
Informative and Insightful
Harry is an excellent interviewer and I can credit a lot to listening to his episodes. I hope that you’ll take a chance and listen to an episode, because if you’re interested in startups, you’ll want to be listening to this!
