Why This Billionaire Cybersecurity Founder Invests In College Startups | Boat#11
Description
In this episode Chris Klaus and I discuss his journey going from a college student at Georgia Tech to building a unicorn startup that was acquired by IBM for $1.3 Billion. We dive in to entrepreneurship culture at colleges and how it can be the best time to start a company, when you least have to "fear failure."
This is Episode #11 of BoaT, a Podcast that is inherently raw in its editing and advice, just like my short form content. I hope you enjoy, and if you do please share with your friends and family.
