Mind Petals, over the course of the next few weeks, will be broadcasting a series of video presentations from the legendary Entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist, Guy Kawasaki.
In this first clip, Guy introduces himself and explains what he is doing with his current VC firm, Garage Technology Ventures. This is a great insight into the mind of a VC and how one goes about seeking talent.
I encourage you to speak out about each presentation with comments on anything that you take/learn from the presentations. Enjoy.
Please visit the Stanford Technology Venture Program’s Educator’s Corner for more clips.
