Kabir Shahani

Kabir Shahani, rightfully so, was recently recognized as one of the “100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs” by Goldman Sachs. As a child, he got to travel the world playing violin and began attending summer college classes when he was only in sixth grade. Kabir co-founded his first company, Appature, at the age of 24 and successfully sold it in 2013. He is now the Co-founder and CEO of Amperity, which has received $37 million in funding in just three years. Kabir discusses Amperity’s values, how they hire, and the important role philanthropy plays in the company and his life. You’ll also hear about his experiences growing up in Kansas, how selling Appature made him “a much more diligent, rigorous operator,” and how he’s now focused on building a company that outlasts him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
