Summary: In this episode, we repurpose an espisode from the Podcast Series called Angel Connect. Here,  Hall Martin discusses the criteria for successful Angel Investing and selecting "good DEALS" with Jared Slosberg. Jared has been a professional investor, and his background includes investing with Yodle, advising HOT or NOT, and founding Prcfitfuel. He also worked earlier in his career at Findlaw and Esko Bionics, as well as KLD Energy Technologies and Distil Networks. As a successful entrepreneur, Jared shares with Hall Martin in this discussion his CRITERIA for making good DEALS. These include not only the market size, but also a look forward with intuition to "see" the firm in the next 5 years. He puts more importance in understanding the talents of the founding entrepreneur and this chief's ability to follow through with the idea or product of the venture. As you will hear in this audio episode, Jared does spend a bit of time in how he evaluates COMPETITION. He also gives detailed cases-in-point for examples of attractive deals in which he invested. Some of these include the electric vehicle market -- in which he focuses on the idea of EFFICIENCY as a competitive advantage.
