Mike Maples, the founder of Floodgate, talks about how this year "scares the heck" out of him, mainly because money is flooding into the startup community. That's good news for everyone, if there's an exit environment. Unfortunately, there isn't one, according to Mike.
In the third segment of my interview with Mike, he also talks about how he spots markets. "In the tech business, great tectonic shifts... and a great market will pull startups to greatness, if they're at the right place, at the right time" he said. So, how do you spot great markets and not fads? I asked. Watch and listen to Mike for his insight.

We’ve developed a new approach to investing in world-changing ideas, which we call the Super Angel Approach. Looking at the world through the eyes of the entrepreneur, we’ve filled a widening gap between Angel investors and venture capital firms. But we help companies with more than just fundraising: we help them discover, refine, evolve, and master the core elements of their businesses so they will be in the best possible position to one day “open the floodgates” to market disruption and dominance.
