Andrew Wilkinson (@awilkinson) co-founder of Tiny, was interviewed by Andrew Barry of On Deck at a special event. They discussed:

- His start as a designer and how great product and design became the common thread that runs through the businesses he tries to buy.

- How to think about building a moat around you when you’re an individual versus a brand.

- What he means when he says he “tries to buy businesses that are like New Zealand — in the middle of nowhere, quietly successful, and away from nuclear war.”

- How he analyzes businesses and the diligence that he does on them.

- How to think about customer acquisition when you don’t have a big budget.

- His advice for first-time founders.

- Why he’s excited about the podcasting space.
