How Angel Investing Bootstrapped Crypto, with Michael Terpin
My Guest today is my friend Michael Terpin an American investor, entrepreneur and public relations (PR) agency manager. Terpin in 2013 co-founded BitAngels, an investment network for blockchain technology startups, and Transform Group, a PR firm for the digital currency industry, in 2014. BitAngels was the first angel network for bitcoin and digital currency startups. The Transform Group is a bitcoin and blockchain marketing firm headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The company has four major divisions: public relations, social media, event managing and cryptocurrency consulting. We discuss The BitAngels' Origin Story and some of their iconic investments, what is angel investing and it's role within the investing ecosystem, and how the public relations within crypto has evolved as the community has become more informed and mainstream.
