Beyond providing a few examples of these transformative questions, this presentation shares a framework perspective on asking the questions that really matter.
While not having all the answers, it should help lead you to asking better questions.
This is an enhanced version of a talk given during the Strategic Planners Workout- a training conducted by the 95% Academy on behalf of the 4As.
These are the things I learned about Angel Investing. If you're thinking about investing in startups, either directly or via services like AngelList, my hope is that these tips can help you avoid some common mistakes.

How do the world's biggest companies deal with the startup revolution?Andrew Webber
Great piece of insight from INSEAD about how and why some of the biggest brands in the world are engaging with (tech) startups as part of collaborative innovation.
Sales can be tough. It’s not for everyone. But it’s not just for extroverts. Nor is it just for people who didn’t go to college. In fact, some of the best salespeople I know are both highly analytical and highly intelligent.
