Mike Maples, Jr. is a founding partner at Floodgate, a venture
capital firm that focuses on early-stage investments in tech
companies. A few of Mike and Floodgate's notable investments
include being the first investor in Twitter, as well as early
investors in Lyft, Digg, Taskrabbit, and Twitch, just to name a
few.
In addition to being an investor, Mike is a serial
entrepreneur. And in the interview, Mike tells us about his first
business, how he got into investing, some of his best investments,
as well as a couple he regretfully missed out on.
You can find the show notes and photo I took of Mike on the
Stories website (thestoriespodcast.com).
