While in Portland, Oregon this week Startup Trek TV interviewed Professor Rob Wiltbank, one of the top authorities in the US on the subject of Angel investing. In addition to teaching Entrepreneurship at Willamette University in Salem OR, Rob is a partner at a Seattle venture capital firm. He has recently raised a $300k Angel investment funds which his entrepreneurship students at Willamette Univ. are in the process of beginning to invest, in $50k chunks. Rob plans to scale this innovative, first-of-type student-managed Angel fund to $5M.
Our interview with Rob covered many aspects of Angel investing and ended up running about two hours. We have it in post-production and will break it up into 14 “mini-interviews” on different aspects of Angel investing.
Rob, thanks again for coming onto Startup Trek TV to share your wealth of knowledge about the topic.
