Summary

Founders, get ready! This week, Nat sits down with LvlUp Ventures partners Aaron Golbin and Jacob Ringel, two venture capitalists with truly unique and inspiring journeys as entrepreneurs. While Nat offers some savvy comparisons to the content creation space, Aron and Jacob dish the details on what key things they look for in new tech start-ups to join their accelerator program called ‘NextUp by LvlUp’. They also talk openly about their journey to this point (Aaron started his first company at 8 years old!) and how being a start-up founder may actually be the very best way to make you into the best version of yourself. Aaron and Jacob highlight what key personality traits a great founder needs, like determination, resiliency, and remaining humble, which are big reasons for their success (and having great ideas helps too!).
