Cory Wallenstein, Angel Investor

Customers can’t afford to ignore experiences and outcomes that are 10x better than what they’re doing today. Surpass this high bar, and customers will find a switch from the status quo compelling. In 20 years of working on startups, I’ve seen both failure and success. The ventures that worked well delivered a phenomenal experience, value prop or outcome that was easily an order of magnitude better than status quo; the ones that failed, quite frankly, did not. I’ve taken this key insight to heart and have now focused my energy on finding, funding, and fueling the startups that embrace this mentality.
