#25: How technology helps investors in search of startups - Penny Schiffer

Imagine you are invited to give a talk at Stanford about your work as an investor. Excited, you board a plane to cross the Atlantic. And this 11-hour flight changes your whole life trajectory. You are now adamant about building your own business.
