Thomas Korte is a veritable expert in the world of startups and entrepreneurship. He is the Founder of AngelPad, a startup accelerator based in San Francisco and New York. Despite having only been around for a few years, AngelPad was named by MIT’s 2014 Accelerator Research as the #3 U.S. Accelerator, and was recognized by Forbes Magazine as a “TOP 5 Global Accelerator” in 2012.

However, before founding AngelPad, Korte worked at Google for 7 years, and was Google’s first International Product Manager. In this second installment, filmed at the 15th Founder Showcase, Korte discusses the benefits of over-communicating and how it can lead to increased trust between you and your employees.

When you over-communicate, when you put all the information out there... people start to trust you. If you put trust in your employees... they usually don't abuse that trust."
