Paul Singh is Bullish on Startups

Description

How much money do you need to start or grow your business? Paul Singh believes its X amount. X = ???

This week hosts Tim Ryan and Zack Miller sit down with Paul Singh, Founder of Results Junkies & Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Bump Health, to discuss that you DON’T need to raise money to start, grow, or “insert whatever most founders say”. Money doesn’t change the outcome of your company… only the speed of whatever’s already going to happen.

Tim Ryan is the Executive Director of StartWheel, an organization dedicated to connecting entrepreneurs with resources in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

About Paul Singh and Results Junkies

“Paul is a dad, husband, entrepreneur (Co-founder & Chief Revenue Officer of Bump Health), speaker, investor and Airstreamer. I've been angel investing in startups for ~15 years now and generally aim to invest into 200 companies every year. I do this through Results Junkies which I run alongside my wife. Previously: Managing Director @1776, Founder @disruptioncorp (acq by @1776), Partner @500Startups, EIR at USCIS / DHS. He was an early partner at 500 Startups and, after leaving the firm to move back to the DC Metro area, he raised a separate $50M fund for slightly later stage investments. Paul drives across North America to visit the places where startups actually start (and grow) their businesses. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, he drove over 150,000 miles, visited 150 cities across North America, shook hands with 80,000 entrepreneurs, sat down with 4,000 early stage startups and invested in the best of them.”

“Results Junkies aim to invest in our own capital in 200 companies across North America each year: roughly half are the typical “tech possibility” and the other half are what we call “main street realities.” We do this because it’s important… and we do this because we’re constructing the ideal investment portfolio…Over the past 10+ years, we’ve flown 1,000,000 miles, raised tens of millions of dollars for our venture funds and invested in thousands of companies around the world. We know startups and small businesses better than anyone else. And they know us”.
