Episode Description

It’s the 100th episode all time for Athletes & Assets™ and we brought in someone special to celebrate…

Joe Montana has 4 Time Super Bowls, 2 NFL Regular Season MVPs and is one of the greatest Quarterbacks of all time. We don’t think we said anything new here but what you may know be aware of is that for the past two decades, Joe has solidified himself as one of the best Venture Capitalists on the planet. Joe runs Liquid2 Ventures, a venture capital firm with approximately 34 companies across their portfolio worth $1 Billion or more. Something that is almost unheard of. Joe chats about his coming of age in venture capital, shares stories of the successful and unsuccessful investments, and reveals some harsh realities of the industry that investors and entrepreneurs do not want to miss.
