Summary

Jason Calacanis is an angel investor and podcaster.

I'm constantly hearing stories of how people are making their millions and billions angel investing in Silicon Valley startups, but I have no idea how it all works.

Thankfully I got hold of Jason, who was one of the first investors in Uber, Thumbtack, Calm and many more, to teach us everything there is to know about the industry.
