Episode notes

Guest: Matt Knight ( @JustMattKnight) Company: Proptech Angel Group Location: Atlanta, GA Background: Proptech Angel Group is an angel group out of Atlanta that, as the name suggests, invests in companies shaping the future of real estate. The group has grown to ~200 members, and Matt is the founder and leader of the group. If you invest in proptech, he's a great guy to know. Talking points (five-second version) : Running an angel group vs. running a traditional fund Subsectors of proptech worth betting on Non-obvious takeaways growing a paid community to 200 members Key takeaways (30-second version) : Angel groups are a great source of inside information. If you're looking to get answers to questions you can't find on Twitter, try an angel group. Angel groups are slow because members notoriously don't have free time. Many of these people are running their own companies, so chasing down capital is the biggest con to running an angel group. You have much more flexibility running an angel group than a traditional fund. This is the two-sided coin of having less structure. You can learn things academically, but you don't really understand things until you get anecdotal evidence.
