Berkus on Boards
On the podcast for his 5th appearance, Tech Coast Angel Dave Berkus talks about the 10 boards he sits on. "Non-profit boards have to have 3 different kinds of members," and what about the for-profits? Dave has great perspective and offers many jewels of experience.
Dave "doesn't want to discourage other angel investors, but... " We discuss the long life cycle of these early stage investments. Just when can angels expect to see some exits?
Dave's a real gadget freak and he mentions many things like a high quality USB microphone, Skype and Sight Speed.
Show #155 (48:30)

Great minds run on the same path, Frank. Dave Berkus' upcoming presentation to FCD on May 21 is my tip of the day.

I am a big fan of the show. Thanks for doing such a great job and providing such valuable content. To show my support, I subscribed to the Podcast.

I was inspired today to email you a note of appreciation for your podcast. As the CEO of a startup based in Mountain View, CA, I am constantly trying to better my understanding of VC's and Angel Investors. About 6 months ago, I was preparing for a long flight by downloading as many entrepreneurial podcasts as my iPod could hold. I stumbled across your program and found myself listening to 6 shows back to back without a second thought. You provide such great insights into the mind of an investor! I must also commend you on the commitment you have shown in producing such regular podcasts.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
