Amos Schwartzfarb Techstars’ Investing Wizard Amos Schwartzfarb will not sugarcoat things for anyone that just does not work in current times anymore, not least for start-ups and budding entrepreneurs. Being the Managing Director at Techstars Austin, a seed accelerator with a market capitalization of over $18 billion USD, Amos is a seasoned investor and a capable leader with an eye for entrepreneurial aptitude. Techstars undertakes a remarkably broad range of startups with diverse profiles and helps them flourish through access to relevant expertise and resources.
Amos is also the author of a comprehensive and straightforward guide for entrepreneurs whose businesses are still in the nascent stages titled Sell More Faster: The Ultimate Sales Playbook for Start-Ups. Talking with Gaper, Amos described this title as an “intentional misnomer”. This is because his sales strategy and advice is not characterised by fast-paced decision-making or the unsustainable steps taken by inexperienced entrepreneurs in their quest to generate some quick revenue. He believes in starting slower with a thoroughly disciplined and self-regulated attitude. Founder’s Grit | Gaper.io
