S1 Ep 14 | Casual Conversations on AAPI Identity and Entrepreneurship

Listen Later

This week we held our second community event! We discussed the nuances of navigating the startup world as an Asian American entrepreneur in a Clubhouse room with some of their wonderful founder friends. It was great to invite friends from our own networks, have them open up to each other, and build friendships to support one another moving forward. We held this event live on April 27th, 2021.

In this podcast we spoke about the following:

  • Taking a financial risk to leave comfortable career paths to start a company  
  • How filial duty can impact your decision making 
  • How the model minority myth can help and hinder fundraising
