Joshua Dorkin, Angel Investor

While teaching, his brother encouraged him to look at some investment properties, and he caught the bug, eventually purchasing several small apartments thousands of miles from his home in California. The challenges of landlording led Josh to seek out advice and, unable to find anything online that didn’t feel slimy, he founded BiggerPockets, the role he is best known for. Josh served as CEO of the company, which he bootstrapped and grew over 14 years before recapitalizing the business with a private equity partner and stepped down from the day to day operations to serve on the company’s board in November of 2018. Josh has helped millions of small entrepreneurs in the real estate space, along with countless others with personal finance, self-empowerment, and real estate investing knowledge via the community, website, podcast, videos, other content, and publishing business. He is open to opportunities around entrepreneurship, and advising, is always seeking good investment deals, loves pumping up the crowd as a speaker, and more than anything, loves hanging out with his family and seeking out new, exciting adventures.
