    Early Stage Multi-Company Fund

    By: Adam Sharp on April 7, 2015

    Dear Startup Investor, Not all funds that invest in startups are created equal… I’ve tracked dozens of them over the past few years. I found that the truly outstanding ones are run by managers with a knack for identifying winners. And that’s why I’m so excited about our new fund partnership with MicroVentures. It’s another exclusive for Startup Investor members.…

      Dear Startup Investor, Obamacare… It’s the most expensive healthcare system in the modern world, right? If that’s not bad enough, the numbers rarely add up. Patients either pay too much or too little… Hospitals get reimbursed too much or not enough… And doctors get overcompensated or undercompensated. The government has proven time and again that it can’t wrap its…

    New Recommendation: Liquidity Nanotech Corporation

    By: Andy Gordon on September 17, 2014

    Dear Startup Investor: Most of us take clean water for granted. But in large swaths of the developing world, clean water is only a dream. I know. I’ve been to many places in Asia, Africa and Russia where the water was filthy. I’ve also marketed clean-water technology in these regions. These technologies all carried the “made in the USA” label.…
