Description
Paige Craig is one of the most well-respected angel investors in the game, but he didn’t start his career in the finance world. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, he started his own military intelligence company and sold it in 2009. Since then, he’s been at the top of the leader boards on AngelList, pulling together funds for a variety of startups like Lyft, Twitter, and Postmates.
Paige shares some great insights on how syndicate investing works. We talk about his experience with investing, how he built his network, and the risks you should anticipate when investing with Backstage Crowd (or any other syndicate).
