Summary: Jaime interviews Danielle Strachman and Michael Gibson, the innovative founders of 1517 Fund. The 1517 Fund is a venture capital firm with a twist - it specializes in funding young founders, specifically 18-25 year-old entrepreneurs (and some even younger). Beyond the basic business of funding start-ups, Danielle and Michael are revolutionaries, and perhaps even insurrectionists. In 1517, Martin Luther questioned and protested the Catholic church's selling of "indulgences," pieces of paper that, reportedly, would speed up admission into heaven. Today, the 1517 Fund questions and protests the selling of college diplomas, pieces of paper that, reportedly, speed up admission into financial fortune and a good life.
