Angel Investor Bill Morrow Speaks At IE Business School Event - Groovy Companies and High-Rise Golf
We caught Bill Morrow, straight-talking angel investor (angelsden.co.uk), at an IE business school entrepreneurship event in London. The event was aimed at aspiring business owners interested in different MBA programs at IE - a school in Madrid famed for its entrepreneurial spirit.
Mr Morrow tells us about raising $1m in just 6 days to invest in a Singaporean 72nd-floor high rise golf club where members dress up in trendy golf gear, get drunk and play virtual rounds with their friends. We also hear about a changing sentiment for enterprise in Asia and that business schools are not necessarily about learning, but more about the people you meet. Watch on and tell us what you think...
