"No one, VC or angel, has invested in more of the top startups than Ron Conway. He knows what happened in every deal in the Valley, half the time because he arranged it." –Paul Graham on The Ronco Principle  SV Angel is a San Francisco-based investment firm that is widely regarded as one of the most successful angel investing firms of all time. Kartik Talwar joined SV Angel in 2014 as an Insight Engineer while studying Astrophysics at the University of Waterloo. At SV Angel, Kartik ultimately built internal tools to track all investments, deals, financing, requests and relationships across 500 investments made and thousands considered ever year.  How did they evaluate thousands of the top investment opportunities? How did they invest in the earliest rounds of Google, PayPal, Airbnb, Pinterest, Twitter, SnapChat, Square and other titans?  What is it like evaluating and investing in cutting edge tech? What does it take to launch a global engineering and education initiative like ETHGlobal and Hack the North? How are great teams and ideas brought to life? What does engineering excellence and the world's top talent look like in the heart of American tech culture?  Kartik Talwar, now a General Partner at A.Capital focused on crypto and Advisor at SV Angel, will walk us through these questions, his transition from an engineer to an investor, and more in our  next Terminal Tech Talk.
