In this episode, Jason Finkelstein shares his journey of becoming a successful venture capitalist and startup advisor.   Beginning with his humble beginnings as a bar back in New York City, Jason Finkelstein has since become a venture capitalist, and blockchain entrepreneur. After his mentor advised him to turn down 90% of the deals he gets, Jason has gone on to work with over 50 clients, helping them grow their businesses through investments, business development, and marketing. He charges success fees and takes equity in the companies he works with. Jason also recommends reducing taxes, finding the right person or team to help a startup company grow, and investing in blockchain. His advice to entrepreneurs is to find an advisor who is willing to take a percentage of the profits or equity, and to prioritize trust, honesty, and integrity in business.   Wolfson, Sophir, and Finkelstein discuss the importance of ownership and how to strategically grow your business, why to not take on too many clients, Jason’s experience with mergers and acquisitions, and his passion for helping startups succeed.
