I rarely talk about my story here. At the age of 14, I ran away from home. I dropped out of high school. I floated through life in my late teens and early 20's with no real purpose. And then I learned of the wonderful world of start-ups. An ecosystem where you are rewarded for your drive and not just your background and accolades. This changed the entire trajectory of my life. Since then, I have been committed to giving opportunities to driven people who may not have the connections, prestige, or capital to make their dreams come true. I am honored to speak to founders at Harvard University this month alongside my brother Shivang Raisurana. This will not be a talk about "what your pitch deck should look like" or "founder market fit". This will be a real peek behind the curtain as to how investors (and other founders) truly evaluate YOU as a founder before even thinking about your company. If you are a founder who wants advice, guidance, intros, or whatever, never hesitate to reach out.
