The Angel Investor

By J. Kelly Hoey April 7, 2019 No Comments

Looking for early stage funding for your big startup idea? In this Meet The Innovators conversation hosted at the Apple Store (SoHo), I speak with angel investor Brian Cohen, chairman of New York Angels (and a lead investor in Pinterest) and get Brian’s insights on how angel investors source deals plus how angel investing has developed out of what used to be considered ”stupid money.” I also get his thoughts on “wantrapreneurs” and the startup scene in NYC.
