BuiltinPitt.com Interview with Michael Clouser

Built in Pitt

Hi all! I had the pleasure of speaking with Pittsburgh’s own Michael Clouser. Michael is the co-founder of The Startup Race, Ask a Techie, and Nautilus Beam. His blog is called The Academic Entrepreneur and he also runs a venture consultancy called NoseCone Ventures. He’s a former Professor of Entrepreneurship and venture capitalist with a wealth of knowledge and background. Luckily for me, he took the time to sit down and answer some of my questions like: How the VC industry has changed over the years, tips for founders in Pittsburgh, how universities could better support startups and his advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
