Creating And Pitching A Product At Startup Weekend, Investing In Startups Via Angel List, And How To Gain Exposure For A New Project

Summary: In this week's podcast episode on the Walter and Yaro show (still yet to be named!) we review Walter's hectic weekend putting in long hours at a startup event. He was part of a team that came third in a competition to create a new product, pitch it and even find customers for it, all over a three-day weekend period.

I explain what Angel List is, what syndicates are and which people's syndicates I have joined so far. If you are interested in angel investing or raising capital yourself, you definitely need to know about Angel List. Finally we end the show with a talk about gaining exposure for new projects and why positioning is so important. A reminder, Walter and I would really love for you to leave a comment to this post and tell us... What should we call our show? Ask us any questions you have about internet business, marketing, technology or entrepreneurship Thanks for listening, Yaro and Walter
