Charlie Sidman takes the floor in Lessons (L)earned Episode 2: The 6 failures that built his success

Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others. That is why EBAN is launching Lessons (L)earned, the podcast on angel investments that did not quite go as planned – or to be quite blunt, our podcast on angel investing failures

In the second episode of “Lessons Learned”, we are hosting Charles Sidman, a member of SBA and EBAN, a founding member of ACA, and the founder and managing partner at ECS Capital Partners Known for his diverse career starting in IT, moving on to biomedical research, and, ultimately, becoming an angel investor, Charles opens up about the failures he encountered in his pursuit of supporting innovative startups. Drawing from his experiences, he shares with us 6 failed investment stories spanning from the technology not working all the way to investment fraud and his “lessons learned”.
