Our guest today is Alex Iskold, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at 2048 Ventures, an early-stage VC firm. Alex is also a Managing Director of Techstars New York, and a serial founder. Alex has invested in more than 150 early stage startups and this week, he’s sharing with Rachel what he looks for in founders, what he’s excited about in the future of biotech and health, and advice for those looking to get into funding. While his resume is impressive, Alex is also passionate about his personal health and routine because he’s tried it all and sharing what’s worked and what didn’t (hint: some of these tips are really easy to pick up!) If you’re ready to jump into the founder or investor ring, this one is definitely for you.
High-level talking points:
- Alex’s transition from founder to investor - what he has enjoyed and what he misses
- Daily routines and habit stacking to balance personal and professional goals
- How he experiences and manages stress
- Trends and upcoming tech that he’s focused on and excited about
