Shownotes Transcript

Ravi Belani, founder of Alchemist Accelerator, talks about entrepreneurship for all. He gives examples of technical founders building software businesses LaunchDarkly and Rigetti. Alchemist looks for what can go right and how big can the business be more than dwelling on what can go wrong.

  • Questions we ask are around: why now, why you and how big.
  • Good accelerators are strong signals to attract venture capital investors
  • Non-profit: City of Dreams)
