The Startup Hero with Tim Draper
Summary: In this podcast, you get a glimpse inside the mind of the Grand Riskmaster himself, Tim Draper. If you aren't familiar with Tim, he is a life long investor, and his original suggestion to use viral marketing as a method for spreading a software application from customer to customer was instrumental to the successes of Hotmail, Skype, and others. A few years ago he realized that most of the world's most pressing problems could be solved through entrepreneurship, so he formed a school for gifted youngsters called Draper University. It aims to inspire and accelerate the next generation of Super Heroes changing the world through business. Every week on the show will be different, anything from a business meeting, a pitch for a new business, or a fireside chat with a fellow thought leader. Take a risk and give it a listen.
