David Rose is the most infamous Angel Investor in America. He is a serial entrepreneur, avid investor and mentor to thousands. David is the founder of the New York Angels and has been described as the ‘Patriarch of Silicon Alley’ – New York’s equivalent of Silicon Valley. His latest company, Gust, is changing the way startups work.
A native New Yorker, David founded his first company by the age of 10 and had a front row seat to the dot.com boom, and bust, while running his own startup in the 90s. The dot.com crash is a financial cycle he believes we are doomed repeated in the sector (cue the Crypto phenomenon).
Gust, a SaaS platform that connects startups with the largest ‘collection investors’ across the world, has allocated over $1 Billion of startup capital via their online platform. The recent release of Gust Launch allows founders, with the click of a button, have their business incorporated in Delaware, by-laws created and stock issued…all in under 2 minutes.
Angus spoke to David about what Silicon Valley was like during the dot.com bubble, how his court battle against ‘AlphaCap’ saved the crowdfunding industry and why it is rational to invest in outsiders
