I always get asked how to get into VC and so I think a lot about what it takes to do the job well. I'm way early in my career, so I won't say I've perfected anything yet, but after 8 years on the investing side and 3 in startups, I've come up at least one thing: Be open.

So Why Did We Invest? As a VC (especially based in LA), I see hundreds of video apps. The backend services to enable scrolling, click-and-watch, scroll forward with minimal buffering, etc. The post Why We Invested in @FerrisApp – A New Kind of Video Sharing App appeared first on Bothsides of the Table.
