Adam Draper is the founder and managing director of Boost VC. Adam is a 2x entrepreneur and a 4th generation venture capitalist.
For Adam, no idea is too crazy. He dreams of building an ironman suit and leads the deals in the wildest SciFi Tech investments - exoskeletons, jetpacks, rockets... Go big or go home.
Adam co-founded Boost VC after his success as an Angel Investor in companies like Coinbase, Amplitude and Plangrid.
In a previous life, he wanted to be a professional tennis player and has an odd affinity for Australians. He once drank an entire bottle of tabasco sauce (the big ones) in 43 seconds.
He's 4th generation venture capitalist, 2-time entrepreneur, and most importantly, he’s a friend :)
In this episode, we talk about:
- Adam's story and how he started a company with his college friend & ended up failing
- Investing in Bitcoin & crypto startups like coinbase at the very early stages
- Launching BoostVC as an accelerator 10 years back to do that at scale
- About his recent tweet that caused an uproar among investors
- Seeding markets, not just companies
- Being pitched at awkward places
..and a lot more
