Episode Description

Andy Liu, Partner at Unlock Venture Partners, knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur from a young age. Andy started two companies with his Co-Founder David Niu, who he met while getting his MBA at Wharton. Always intrigued by angel investing, Andy decided to dip his toes in after both NetConversions and BuddyTV.com had successful exits. Today, Andy is an investor in nearly 100 companies. He started his current venture capital firm, Unlock Venture Partners, in late 2017, which focuses on early-stage technology investments in Seattle and Los Angeles. Andy shares helpful tips for entrepreneurs including what to consider when choosing a Co-founder, focusing on customer acquisition and distribution versus building a product, and the traits he looks for as an investor. He also discusses how he learned to cold call after starting his first company, getting the idea for BuddyTV.com while visiting Machu Picchu, and how he’s helping provides education and career opportunities to poverty-stricken communities through technical training with his organization, Future Hope.
