390: What Ankur Nagpal Looks for in a Startup Worth Investing In The Foundr Podcast with Nathan Chan

    • Marketing

We’re kicking off 2022 with one of our favorite returning guests, Ankur Nagpal, founder of Teachable and Vibe Capital. After selling Teachable last year for $150 million, Ankur created Vibe Capital, a global early-stage generalist fund. He promises to be the "least painful investor you have to deal with" because he knows how founders feel about investing. 
 
Listen to Nathan and Ankur discuss: 

Why founders prefer investing in other founders

Defining IRR (internal rate of return) and why it's a key metric for modern-day investors

Why he spends less than a week to decide to invest in a company

Why speed is so important when it comes to investing

The 3 most important things to look for when investing in a startup

His “red flags” when reviewing potential companies to invest in

And much more funding advice…
