Previous investments include The Trade Desk, Datadog, Digital Ocean, Wise and Recorded Future. Most recently, Roger took a step away from the day-to-day running of the firm, since he started IA Sports Partners, investing in sports franchises and other sports-related assets. Last month, Roger, alongside his two sons, started Eberg Capital, an investment vehicle focused on web3, crypto, NFTs and next-gen infrastructure. In Today’s Episode with Roger Ehrenberg You Will Learn: 1.) How Roger made his way into the world of angel investing and venture having had a successful career on Wall St?

Why does Roger believe there is more "blood on the streets to come"? When does Roger believe is the right time to pullback vs when to be aggressive in deployment? What company profiles will do well vs poorly moving into this new cycle? 3.) Investing Strategy: How does this new market impact the three different investing categories; early, Series A & B and growth? Why does Roger believe deployment timelines will be extended? How will pricing be impacted? Why does Roger believe that the Series A & B crunch is the most worrisome? How will their bar for what makes a great company change? Should early stage managers alter their reserves strategy in the face of more stringent Series A rounds? Why does it not make sense to invest in "pay to play" rounds? How does Roger adivse the companies that he works with today on burn vs growth? 4.) AMA: How does Roger evaluate his own relationship to money today? How has it changed over time?
