Gil Dibner is the founder of Angular Ventures, a first-check venture capital firm investing in modern enterprise and frontier tech.

Prior to founding Angular, Gil was at Index, DFJ and Israeli funds Gemini Israel Ventures and Genesis Partners, where Gil got first-hand exposure to deep tech for the first time.

I’ve known Gil for some time and I’ve always been a fan of his way of thinking about the industry, which he’s been very public about on Angular’s blog. In mid 2021, Gil specifically mentioned that the startup funding market was getting ahead of itself. And he was right.

In this episode we chat with Gil about the following topics:

• What makes Angular Ventures different compared to other firms
• What deep tech investing means for him and Angular
• How he works with founders and what advice he’s got for them in the current market environment
• The state of the VC landscape and what he saw in 2021 that made him cautious
• The role of deep tech in climate tech
• And much more
