The bub.blicio.us crew was on hand at the latest Startup2Startup dinner in Palo Alto, hosted by Dave McClure. The night’s speaker was Naval Ravikant, an experienced entrepreneur and startup investor, and occasional contributor on the Venture Hacks blog (which he co-founded).
Previously he was a co-founder or investor at Genoa Corp (acquired by Finisar), Epinions.com (IPO via Shopping.com), Chainn, Hive7, and Vast.com; also an advisor to Bix.com, iPivot, and XFire, among others.
Here guest reporter, Leonard Speiser of Yahoo!, asked Naval a few questions about his experiences as an entrepreneur and investor and his advice for startups.
