Founders Couch

We’ve got Stanford senior Michelle Lu and masters student in computer science Apoorva Dornadula on the couch! They are 2/4 of the team that founded tech startup Viralspace, a marketplace that helps brands crowdsource user-generated content from their fans and helps creators monetize their content. The two share what’s prepared them the most for the unpredictability and ambiguity of startup life. They emphasize the importance of team diversity and having close mentors. And, they talk about how instrumental the Startup Garage class and Village Global accelerator program have been in their early success. Plus, we’ll hear them touch on how they set business and technical milestones to keep up with their high growth! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/founderscouch/support
