Following on from Andy Phillipps first podcast, we are pleased to bring you

part two. In part one, Andy described how he co-founded Active Hotels,
selling to Priceline and eventually helping form Booking.com. Part two
follows his transition into Angel Investing. Andy's first venture into
investing came with Toptable, investing not only capital but importantly
for the companies success, he invested his time and expertise. Andy was
chair for the company for five years, before helping them sell to OpenTable
in 2010. He subsequently began as chair of Reevoo and continues to be a
Non-Executive Director for Trainline. Andy has become a prominent figure in
the UK, sitting on the board of the Cambridge Angels and forming Active
Venture Fund. Most importantly, Andy has learnt that founders need backing,
not just with finances, but with advice, mentoring and the expertise of
investors. Enjoy part two!
