Tune into Part II of our exclusive fundfindr.tv interview with prominent Angel Fund manager Basil Peters to uncover key insights on the difference between angel investors and VCs. Basil walks me, Danita Harty, through what both investors want to see and clarifies the confusion between the two groups.
