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.
