Rob Hunter Interview - Toronto - Canada's Podcast
from Canada’s Entrepreneur Hosted by Canada’s Entrepreneur
Rob Hunter has been an entrepreneur ever since he was a kid. He had an eBay account by the time he was 12 years old, and sold Japanese professional wrestling VHS tapes and DVD's (yep!) to pay his way through university at the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. He did so well, he was able to establish a mini student real estate empire. After graduation, he sold my properties and got into the ice cream business, opening 7 Marble Slab ice cream stores by the time he was 25. Rob has had lots of tremendous high's and low's as a multi-unit franchisee, and learned a lot of lessons along the way. In 2012, he got offered a great scholarship to do his MBA at the #1 school in the world for entrepreneurship, Babson College. In Boston he met a co-founder, a wife, and immersed himself in the technology startup culture of the city. Right now he’s back in Toronto and focused on growing HigherMe - a way for retail and hourly employers to find, screen, and hire better employees faster.
