Great interview with @ConnorPM, #angelinvest Venture Partner & @brdgapp CEO, who tells @businessposthq's @ChasTaylor he has "probably invested in more Irish startups" in the last 18 months through Angel Invest “than I did in the previous decade combined.”

I had the worst pitch meeting with a VC: @madelinelawren
She said no to our pre-seed, “you’re wearing the jerseys, but you're not a team yet”
Anyways, she’s now officially our CGO and late co-founder
The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.
Over the last few months we’ve rebuilt how we work @usv entirely. We’ve always loved being small in size (team; fund, relatively) but with tentacles that reach broadly. Now, that’s easier than ever with an agentic workforce.
The agents are on our emails and messages, pushing back, suggesting new ideas, finding opportunities. It’s a work in progress—so, as we always do, we like to publish it half-baked in the hopes that we’ll learn what we’re missing and where we can push further. If you’ve built an agentic workforce to change how your partnership operates, we want to share ideas.
