Watch full episode: https://youtu.be/WoxmTV1D3bc Laura Huang is a Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Laura’s research examines how an investor’s gut feel plays a role in innovation and entrepreneurial decision making. She explores how perceptions and cues influence an individual’s ability to make important, high-stakes decisions, how gender and other biases affect pitch success, and if investors are behaving differently in those circumstances because of the valid pressure on the investment community to see more diversity. Join us in this thought-provoking discussion about the known unknowns in the angel investing space, Jason’s theory of investment, and what meritocracy really means in Silicon Valley.
