Charlie O'Donnell of BBV on NYC investing & how to make entrepreneurship a practice

Today's TWIST features Charlie O'Donnell of Brooklyn Bridge Ventures. Like Jason, Charlie is both an investor and a founder, and the two have an amazing conversation sharing their collective insights on these essential and interrelated roles. Among the many discussions they delve into: what founder qualities and "tells" they look for before investing; once turned down, how an entrepreneur can turn it around; and the differences among the NYC, Silicon Valley and L.A. investor landscapes, now and "back in the day." In addition, Charlie shows us some of his star companies, explains why entrepreneurship should be a constant practice, and reveals how founders can avoid critical product pitfalls.
