Ankur Jain | How Entrepreneurship Can Solve Some Of Our Biggest Systemic Problems

from The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

When Ankur Jain was 11 years old, he wanted to play in the basketball team and believed he needed a special pair of shoes to jump higher. So he coded a website, phoned the shoe company and asked to speak to the CEO. Ankur told the CEO that he would advertise their shoes on his website if they mailed him a pair. The CEO sent Ankur a pair of luxury sports shoes. Ankur used the shoes to tryout for the basketball team. He didn't make the cut. Today, Ankur is an entrepreneur and the CEO of Kairos, a venture fund dedicated to making the lives of our generation easier by solving some of the worlds biggest problems.Find out more about Ankur Jain's work | https://kairoshq.comVisit Ankur's website | https://www.ankurjain.netListener TribeWe have our own private social network for listeners of the Unmistakable Creative podcast.
