Everyone Funding Startups show

Summary: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” And woman, adds Teju Ravilochan from the Unreasonable Institute to this quote by George Bernard Shaw. These are the thoughts the Unreasonable Institute is built on, to enable and cater for the high-impact entrepreneurs solving society’s largest problems. Teju joined us in our podcast to discuss the accelerator, but also their experiences from running the program and dealing with some of the most brilliant, driven individuals. Also listen to some insights from the ecosystem in Boulder, Colorado. Listen to the episode here. Here are a couple quotes from the episode: In the interview, we really try to weed out those entrepreneurs who are motivated by ego, as opposed to by desire to serve. .. we challenge the entrepreneurs to each raise $8000 which is the cost of attending the program. But the catch is, they can’t pay it themselves.
