Start It Up Episode 29: Investor Jared Nixon Talks Venture Capital at 36/86

At any tech conference, a lot of attention is given (and rightfully so) to startup companies and their founders. However, equally important are the angel investors and venture capitalists who fund them. The recent 36/86 Conference attracted a Who's Who of the investor community to Nashville.

Southern California native Jared Nixon is a successful investor with an interesting past. He got his start as a nightclub and hip-hop promoter in high school, before becoming one of The Apple Store's early marketing stars. Today Jared is a partner in Shark Branding with Daymond John of the TV series Shark Tank.

On this week's episode, Jared explains his path to success and how we can each tap into our own talents and experiences to forge a path to our own version of success.
