Topher : Study CS. I’m not sure if I would’ve pursued it as a career but a deeper technical understanding would be valuable to me.Ron : Start angel investing sooner. Even though I’ve been doing it for twenty-two years I could’ve started four years earlier but I decided to start a software company instead. I’d spent twelve years at a hardware company and thought starting a software company would be really exotic.
