I help people quit their jobs and become entrepreneurs. I’m the founder of Capital Factory, a startup community that helps entrepreneurs find their first investors, customers and employees. I founded my first startup in 1996 in my college dormitory at Carnegie Mellon University and now teach a class at the University of Texas for student entrepreneurs. I am a Henry Crown Fellow and Braddock Scholar at the Aspen Institute, a member of the National Committee on US-China Relations Young Leaders Forum, an Eisenhower Fellow, and a recipient of the Anti-Defamation League Torch of Liberty.
