This Venture Capitalist Is Lecturing About Corporate Finance On Snapchat
“Do entrepreneurs really give a fuck what I ate for sushi last night?”
People use Snapchat for fun things, like sending face-swaps and goofy selfies to their friends. The year's best meme (in this reporter's humble opinion), Damn Daniel, originated there.
But one 47-year-old guy, Mark Suster, is using Snapchat differently. Suster is a venture capitalist in Los Angeles. His latest Story looks like, well, homework.
Suster, a partner at Upfront Ventures, has invested in data provider DataSift, video sharing service Vidme, and Latino digital video network Mitu, among others. A previous portfolio company, Maker Studios, sold to Disney for more than $500 million.
