This is very interesting, Prasanna Naik - thanks for taking out time. I'm curious to learn what challenges you faced initially, (other than who to bet on) and how you overcame them
Gonna ask many questions in our session looking forward to it !!
Thanks Prasanna, this is great! Lots of questions: 1. Are you looking at investing in Indian startups? 2. Is that possible (tax implications for non-immigrant visa holders) and if so, how? 3. What are some pitfalls? Would be happy to look at resources that you found useful - especially for investing in the Indian startup scene.
Interested to learn how to start. Is angellist a good way to go ?
This is great and answers a lot of questions. However, if permissible, would you be open to doing a zoom seminar to talk in-depth about your experience/share any tips for newcomers in this space?
When you got started, what were your criteria(s) for choosing a company if it's related to tech. If it's beyond tech, what other variables or market trends do you watch or keep track of to make meaningful investment albeit the risk is still considerable regardless of the sector.
How does tax work? Yes - that too. This can get a bit complex with many startups being registered in different states, you might owe in many states. Not to worry, but something to be aware of in tax season.
