From building software companies to investing in new technologies, Jason Illian, Managing Director at Koch Disruptive Technologies, has seen both sides of the innovation spectrum.

He joins host Grayson Brulte to share a venture capitalist’s perspective on investing in disruptive technologies and sectors, how creating a level market playing field that enables the best technologies and companies to succeed benefits society as a whole, and the ways parents can create teachable moments to inspire kids for lifelong learnings.

The conversation looks at the trends that are being accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, from the education landscape to medical technologies to warehousing and logistics. Jason closes out the discussion by sharing the vision and focus for the future of Koch Disruptive Technologies and offering advice to burgeoning entrepreneurs who want to raise capital for the first time.
