Marc Kramer - Angel Investor - a podcast by Tom

In the 1990s, well before the Shark Tank phenomenon, Marc Kramer was tuned in to finding opportunities to bring angel investors and entrepreneurs together to facilitate investment in promising startups.  He founded the country's first formally organized angel investor network, which is now called the Private Investors Forum.  Marc is a veteran of successful startup companies and delights in developing his own business ideas as well as using his talents to help other entrepreneurs realize their dreams.   Marc discusses the difference between angel investors and venture capitalists, unicorn companies, the Angel Venture Fair, the ecosystem for entrepreneurship in the Philadelphia area, the economic impact of the Covid-19 virus, as well as thoughts on the economic rebound following the crisis.  Marc’s message is one of optimism, based on the history of our country and the creativity and resilience of our entrepreneurs:  “The smartest people in the world are sitting in this country, and they’re going to figure it out."
