Ep. 5: Son Nguyen, Founder and CEO of Dat Bike Founder's Jam

    • Entrepreneurship

Son is the founder and CEO of Dat Bike, an electric motorcycle company based in Vietnam. Their motorcycles offer amazing acceleration, low operating costs, and of course are less pollutive than their gasoline-powered cousins. Son attended UIUC on a full scholarship from the Vietnamese government, and after a few years working as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, decided he wanted to move home to Vietnam and work on something that would improve the lives of his fellow citizens. Struck by the increasing pollution he saw during his annual visits home, he decided to work on electric motorcycles.
