E12: Startup Accelerators, SaaS, and Helping Founders Run Faster with Mike Cardamone

Mike Cardamone is the founder and managing partner of Forum Ventures. Forum is a New York-based firm with a structure that layers together an accelerator, studio, and pre-seed fund. We talked about why Forum likes B2B SaaS, how Forum helps startups run faster, how Mike sizes up AI opportunities, and why new investors into startups might be making a mistake by following Big Brand VCs into early stage deals. We also talked about the state of play in startup accelerators and Mike's views on the direction of the space and business model.
