Mentor, board member and occasional angel. Googler, ex-strategy consultant.
Startup mentor and occasional angel. Areas of focus: commercial strategy, product strategy and customer acquisition strategy (how to get customers at scale and affordably).
Note: my startup interest is unrelated to my day-job at Google and I rigorously avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Long-term revenue prospect's useful. Very smart, hyper-motivated teams are important. But the real differentiator is the ability to surf the 'rogue wave' of the unexpected.
Happy to invest in very early-stage businesses but I'd probably go with mentoring / board involvement first.
