Founders First - Interviews with young founders about their firsts

by•
Founders First is a podcast devoted to young founders. We sit down with the founders of venture-backed startups and ask them to tell us how they really got started. Listen to learn something but also listen for the raw personal stories of starting a startup.

Hey ProductHunt! I'm excited to share with you Founders First, the newest podcast from the team at 1517 Fund. I know, I know, "another podcast?" But this one isn't one focused on a bunch of "how to" and interviews with the same 10 enterprise execs everybody hears from already. Instead, we focus on interviewing young founders about their personal stories getting started. You'll pick up some of the good, practical "how to" stuff, of course, but it's all couched in stories like: * How one founder was literally dumpster diving for food before he started his company * How one founder wanted to invent time travel, so he started with a sleeper bus * How one founder was selling video game guides online as a kid and his mom thought he was selling drugs * How another founder was sick in a hospital room with an elderly man and saw how hard it was to keep track of elderly patients Lots more. These were a blast to record. I hope you enjoy - we've launched these to our 1517 Fund community already and people really enjoyed it. Take a listen and let me know if you have any questions!
