From a IDE bachelor student to running a million dollar company? Bas tells the boys his path to succes

This is the third episode of The Icarus Idea podcast! Thanks so much for listening and let us know what you think in the comments!

Today we talk about how to drop out of school and become a millionaire! Our guest, Bas Buursma, put his studies on hold a year ago to run an online code editing platform worth millions! This episode will cover how to begin your start-up and what the role of an Industrial Design Engineer could be within a tech business. Besides that, we will talk about an intimate game that can be played by everyone, another online platform for designers, and the (dystopian) social virtual world launched by Facebook.
