#9: Wade Myers - Doing a Harvard MBA in your 30ies; raising $75 Million for your startup REPETE.FM

    • Gründervirksomhet

Let’s repeat until we get it right. That’s what REPETE is about - at least in a nutshell.

Putting this into practice is not that simple though.

Repeating and making the same mistakes over and over again is not what we want, is it?

I spent the last 20 years building and growing websites, apps, chatbots and physical businesses.

REPETE is my outlet to reflect and improve, to reach out to people who are way smarter than me and learn from them. To ask all the questions I've always wanted to ask.

Today is the first day of my new chapter - the new season of the REPETE podcast.

A friend recently told me that he only started coding when he was 14 years old. He thought he was too old to learn programming, as all of his friends were already great at it. Today he's in his 30ies and an amazing developer.

Last sunday I asked myself 'how do I get into harvard in my 30ies?" And if it even makes sense to do an MBA when you are that old. That's when I found Wade.

Wade Myers graduated in the top 5% of his class at Harvard business school. At the age of 35. He went on to raise $ 75 Million for his startup.

Wade is a former Army Ranger. He is a general partner of Eagle Venture Fund and managing director of Boldmore Growth Partners. Wade is the creator of the business planning apps Pro-Forma and Sweat Equity. His personal website is wadetmyers.com.

On today's episode of REPETE, Wade will share invaluable fundraising advice for entrepreneurs and tell us why he doesn’t meet with founders before checking their business plan.

He also explains how being older with more life experience worked to his advantage when starting his Harvard MBA at the age of 33.
