Podcast Host
Startup Parachute is a weekly college podcast that highlights the entrepreneurial adventure that is happening on virtually every campus in the US and beyond. Our mission is to inform, inspire and celebrate what it takes to become the next business rockstar. In that process, we capture part of the climb to success through interviews, discussions, and engaging stories from those student-led startups and business icons from each campus. In addition, each week we will feature top venture capitalists who help fuel those revolutionary ideas and entrepreneurial spirit. As a host, I interviewed our entrepreneur and venture capital guests, and then added my expertise to record the final edits of the show.
