18:54: The only thing that matters for investors.
20:35: My take on AI.
23:38: What venture capitalists and Hasidic diamond merchants have in common.
31:08: Why I love SaaS.
43:40: When I’m expecting a recovery in the venture market.
44:55: What I want to see in a startup.
47:34: Why ideas don’t matter.
49:03: Are AI startups overvalued?
53:02: Why angel investing is the best business degree on earth.
56:58: Why Twitter will 10x in 10 years.
