Saeed Amidi is a seasoned investor and executive with more than 30 years of experience building businesses across real estate, bottled water, packaging, and technology investing. In this exclusive interview, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Saeed to explore his journey from entrepreneur and family business executive to one of the leading figures in global startup investing.
Saeed shares the story behind Plug and Play and the Palo Alto building that became known as the "Lucky Building," where early-stage startups included companies and founders such as Google, PayPal, Logitech, and Danger. The experience gave Saeed a unique perspective on the potential of emerging technology companies and the opportunity to invest in the next generation of founders.
Founded in 2006, Plug and Play has since worked with more than 90,000 startups, made more than 2,000 investments, and backed more than 30 unicorns, including Dropbox, PayPal, LendingClub, N26, and Honey.
Saeed also discusses his famous $100,000 investment in Dropbox, which ultimately returned $36 million; how he evaluates founders and startups; the importance of domain knowledge and execution; and why he believes artificial intelligence could create one of the biggest productivity shifts in modern history.
The conversation also explores corporate venture capital, university startup programs, AI, family offices, building relationships with leading entrepreneurs and CEOs, and Saeed's vision for the next decade of technology and innovation.
