Manage episode 212926265 series 2394901
In this very exciting episode my guest, Joshua Bunch, teaches us about Social Entrepreneurship and how to attract different types of investors to get a tech startup off the ground. He and his co-founders developed "Outro", a Yelp-like app that allows users to rate and review bars, clubs and social venues based on safety, atmosphere, and enjoyment. Josh demonstrates how he combined his passions for people and technology to help bring this potentially life-saving app to the public. Join us with pen and paper in hand! This man's got some wisdom to share.
