To build a company, you need an idea. You need a good team. And, in most cases, you need some money.

We hear from the people with the purse. Some of the Boston area’s most knowledgeable venture capitalists, seed-funders and prize-givers join us to talk about what they’re investing in, how to spot great talent, and whether the economy is finally springing back to life in Boston.

Guests:

• Katie Rae, managing director, TechStars; founder, Project 11
