#101: 24 Year-Old Founder Cries in Supermarket Before Exiting (Adam Rossi)


Listen Later

Sri talks with Adam Rossi, who set a 2-year clock on founding a company after he graduated college. At 24 he started his entrepreneurial journey along with his young wife Laila. They eventually sold to a public company, achieving the exit every founder dreams of—but only after immense struggle. 

Adam tells the raw, unvarnished story: not being sure about making payroll—or even groceries. 

And about how to choose a life partner and what entrepreneurship can do to a marriage. 

Sri and Adam also talk about zero-to-one startups vs. acquisition, the flaws in our education system, and how younger generations should prepare for AI.
