Super fun speaking today at Drive Capital in Austin

Great event today! Fun fact: Growing up in Ohio, I had never heard of Venture Capital until Drive Capital launched in 2012. Without realizing it, Chris Olsen & Drive altered the course of my life & many others across the Midwest thanks to their work 👏🏼
