Learned Entrepreneur
What do successful businesspeople have in common?
That is the question we're hoping to answer at Learned Entrepreneur through our series of informative, thirty minute interviews.
Join us as we converse with some of the brightest minds in the entrepreneurial world, and better understand the keys to success.
Jose Acain combines technical expertise with digestible explanations when describing his asteroid mining startup, AstroForge. A Y Combinator-backed company that's raised over $13 million, AstroForge brings some pretty exciting ideas into the realm of deep teach. I learned so much from this interview—both about asteroid mining and, more broadly, space—and I'd imagine others will as well. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
Jonathan Zwiebel carries a deep understanding of blockchain technology, and—perhaps more impressively—he's able to distill that understanding to others in a digestible way. Once the COO of Kargo (a company that's raised over $30 million), he's now the CEO and founder of Zwieco, a company that hopes to connect the Web2 and Web3 worlds. I personally learned so much from this interview, and I'd imagine others will as well. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
Jack brings a refreshing blend of honesty & passion to the business world, and you'll surely notice that in this interview. A Stanford dropout (and only 22 years old, at that), he's raised over $13 million for his company, StageGlass, which utilizes video game technology to transform construction schematics into hyper-realistic, mocked-up homes. Although he acknowledges that he still has a lot to learn, I nevertheless picked up so many useful bits information during this interview. Give it a listen!
For our show's third episode, I had the chance to talk with Daniel Wilson and Arthur MacWaters, two of the three co-founders of Legion Health. A telemedicine startup hoping to revolutionize the mental health space, Legion Health has already raised $2 million and was accepted into highly-prestigious startup accelerator Y Combinator. Listen to learn more about how TikTok actually catalyzed the creation of this business, how company founders can find product-market fit, and Daniel and Arthur's suggestions on how to raise & spend during this VC downturn.
For our show's second episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Teddy Solomon. Although his company, Fizz, is only 11 months old, they've raised millions of dollars, and they've taken entire college campuses—from Stanford to Rutgers—by storm. Listen to learn more about outreach strategies for social media apps, the importance of creating a clear company mission, finding the right investor for your company, and why Teddy isn't worried about competition.
For our very first episode, I had the privilege of conversing with Zach Laberge. While only 16 years old, Zach has raised $700,000 for his startup, Frenter. Listen to learn more about what Frenter does, how Zach thinks about sales & growth, and how Zach raised so much money.
