Summer is coming. In Florida, it’s already here.

Summer is coming. In Florida, it’s already here. I could complain about the heat and waste time wishing I was adventuring in the snow in Aspen (or Alaska), but I find that to be a waste of time. Even in the sweltering heat of summer, I can find some relief sailing the open seas and focusing on the incredible founders and tech startups right here in Tampa.

Yes. As a founder passionate about your solution,

Yes. As a founder passionate about your solution, you could explain why it’s a revolutionary game-changer until your listener’s eyes glaze over - and they will. WOW! Factor is the feeling that you get when you see something and - in a matter of seconds - you get why it’s exciting, way before you really understand it. That magic is what hooks people to learn more - and stick around as an investor or consumer, too.

For bootstrapping, early-stage startups, angel investors can be the bridge from where they are to where they want to be - and often someone to walk across it with.

The pyramids were once the tallest human-built structures. While still an incredible feat of engineering and architecture, they no longer hold that record. It’s a great reminder that everything is changing, never get complacent.

Not always, but a heck of a lot of the time, the answer is yes. When you’ve had to overcome challenges to succeed, you get in the habit of overcoming challenges. When you have to take risks, you get more comfortable with taking risks. You even start to look forward to adversity, because you know it will teach you and, ultimately, be a critical factor in your success. It’s why I always remind founders to enjoy the ride. Notice that saying isn’t “enjoy the good parts of the ride.” The sooner you start to welcome the unwelcome, the better for your business (and for you).

It was an honor to be featured on eMerge America's "An Angel's View on Early Stage Tech Investing" panel with Marc Blumenthal and Michelle Waite of Florida Funders. It's always exciting to talk about the incredible growth and opportunity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem right now and to share guidance with entrepreneurs on how angel investors think when deciding whether or not to invest. Looking forward to seeing where the startup space is at next year's eMerge America.

As a small fish in a big pond, you can feel like you have all the opportunity in the world...until you get speared or snared by a bigger, stronger predator. The lesson: be aware of your blind spots - and don't leave yourself vulnerable in your early startup phase.
