The world of entrepreneurship moves fast. And nowhere does it move faster than inside a Techstars accelerator. With startups and mentors and investors all coming together, move fast or get left behind -- and that usually starts with candid conversations.
Each week Neal Sales-Griffin, Managing Director of Techstars Chicago’s accelerator program, brings together a rotating cast of high-powered and provocative guests to talk through the most pressing topics of the moment, in a free-form and unscripted conversation.
If you’re a founder, mentor or investor, or hope to be one day, this is a must-listen. It’s Talking Through It, first and fresh takes, from the Techstars Podcast Network.
