I recently had the privilege of interviewing David S. Rose, who has been described as “the Father of Angel Investing in New York” by Crain’s New York Business, and a “world conquering entrepreneur” by BusinessWeek. He chairs New York Angels, one of the most active angel investment groups in the country, which has invested over $60 million into nearly 70 companies.
Marty: Welcome to Startup Professionals interviews. It sounds like you could be a full-time Angel investor, but I know you have other activities as well. Tell us a bit about these.
David: I’m also a serial entrepreneur who has founded half a dozen companies, including Angelsoft, which provides the underlying Internet infrastructure for most of the world’s organized angel investing ecosystem. I also spend close to half my time teaching, and in addition to serving on the entrepreneurship advisory boards at Columbia, Yale and NYU, I am Chair of the Finance, Entrepreneurship and Economics program at Singularity University in Silicon Valley.
