My guest today is my friend Lou Kerner, a Partner at Flight VC where he manages the Israeli Founders Syndicate on AngelList. Lou is also the Founder and Managing Partner at The Social internet Fund, which invests in the primary or secondary shares of private social media or mobile companies. Lou started his career as a Wall Street analyst following media companies, spending four years at Goldman Sachs, before transitioning to operating tech companies. His first CEO role was at The .tv Corporation, which acquired the top-level domain .tv from the tiny island nation of Tuvalu. After .tv was acquired by Verisign in 2001, Mr. Kerner became the CEO of Bolt Media, the largest social media company before MySpace. After Bolt, Lou became an angel investor, best known for writing the first Wall Street style research report on Facebook, in 2010. Lou launched a small VC fund in 2012, and then joined Flight Ventures, where he focused on tech companies founded by Israeli teams. Since 2017, Lou has been focused on crypto as an analyst, investor, and advisor. Lou is one of the most followed crypto analysts (on Medium) and advises companies including Blockchain Co-investors (a crypto fund-of-funds), Casper (a layer one protocol), Props (an SEC-approved token used to drive loyalty programs), and Silver Castle (an institutional-grade digital asset manager). In addition, Mr. Kerner is a Partner in an AngelList Syndicate that actively invests in crypto projects. Furthermore, Lou started CryptoMondays, the largest crypto-focused Meetup group, with chapters in more than 50 cities around the world. Lou's passion and excitement for the space is contagious and he was a wealth of knowledge. In our conversation, we cover why crypto is the most important movement in the history of mankind, Crypto Mondays, Kerner's Law and DAOs, GameFi, the Everything Bubble, and much more. We begin our conversation by discussing what compelled Lou to start Crypto Mondays, their decentralized organizational structure, and the importance of Crypto Mondays to the fabric of the community. We continue our conversation by discussing the importance of community and how the strength of a crypto network can be derived from its network. Lou did an excellent job at explaining how to gauge the strength of the community by using Kerner's Law and the Value Delta. Another very interesting topic of conversation was GameFi. We discussed the emergence of GameFi and how MetaVerse will be all-encompassing. We finish our conversation by discussing the Everything-Bubble and why Bitcoin will become increasingly more important. -- Ledn provides financial products to help you unlock the power of digital assets.

Lou Kerner Show Notes Lou Kerner is a partner at Flight VC, where he spends 100% of his time investing in tech companies founded by Israeli’s, as manager of the Israel founders indicate on angelist. Lou has a BA from UCLA and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of business. Most passionate about Lou has a Venture Capital for 5 years, he started to fund Israeli startups years ago and with time he found more and more opportunities in this direction, so for the last two years Lou focuses only in startups by Israeli founders where ever they located. The next step In the coming year Lou is planning to grow the amount of money he invests as well as the number of companies he is investing in. Every investor want the most successful startups, those who can, choose which investors they want to work with. Lou believes that by focusing on one target market, in his case Tech companies founded by Israelis, and build a brand around being helpful to Israeli founders, the quality of the companies he will meet and invest in will be remarkable high. Customers Lou’s way to look and measure startups is by focusing on their user engagement. There isn’t a different between B to B or B to C companies, their customer’s should become more and more engaged or the company will die. Lou’s best advice about approaching the customer Every startup should figure out how they can bring value to the customer, such that the customer spend more time with their product today, than they did yesterday. Successful companies are very good at coming up with very good ideas, implement and test those ideas and listen and watch their customers’ responses – until they come to a very successful product Biggest failure with a customer Lou determines a failure as not listening to your customers. “Founders aren’t right, the customer right!” Lou’s second company was a social network for 14 years old girls, he had three great ideas for products but it turned out that they weren’t great ideas… a 40 years old man can’t come with an idea about what 14 year old kids want to do in the internet As a result Lou found a lot of young 18-20 years old that built great products for 14 years old kids on the internet, however they didn’t have the opportunities to monetize those products. He ended up negotiating and buying such products from these young entrepreneurs and did eight acquisitions. Biggest success due to the right customer approach One of Lou’s companies sold dot-TV domain names that did very well at the time. They were lucky to buy almost all Dot-TV domains formats and grow to become a very successful company (However not nearly successful as company called GoDaddy….) Recommendation of tools for customer focus, marketing or sales? It’s about having the data and looking at the data in the right way about how your users are engaging with your products. Any tool that can analyze the user engagement that way is great. The one thing you are most FIRED UP about today Lou believes that the biggest industries in the world – the Education industry, the Financial, Healthcare, Automobile industry etc. are still very early in their disruption and there are big opportunities there. Today he is very exiting about Israeli startups that can build big companies in the mobility ecosystem. Last piece of guidance It’s hard! Entrepreneurs should recognize when they go in how hard it is going to be. Lou has tremendous respect for entrepreneurs. Nobody knows a company as well as the founders. At the end of the day the founders know their companies better than their investors, their mentors and anybody else. At the end of the day entrepreneurs should do what they think is right!, and they should surround themselves by people who support them. I found that I’m able to be most successful as an Investor when I’m hundred percent supportive of the entrepreneurs and they are the ones who run the
