Welcome to the Open VC podcast. I'm your host, Harrison Faull And in season one, we're going to be interviewing some truly exceptional investors from full -time angels to seasoned venture capitalists, such as Chon Tang from Berkeley Skydeck, which is the fund associated with UC Berkeley, the number one rated college campus in America. And the likes of Phil Nadel who runs the largest angel syndicate in America. And it's actually a co -founder alongside Barbara Cohen of Shark Tank. In episode one,we're going to be interviewing Francis Santora. Francis has been a full -time angel investor for the last three years. And in that short time, he's already had four of his angel investments hit $10 million in annual recurring revenue, which is a truly exceptional hit rate.
