Potentialist Show is a talk show where we sit down with founders and investors to talk about their stories and secrets to succeed in the international startup world.
Often, we hosted a live, in-person talk show with guests, however, now we focus on podcast-like 1on1 talk show as we want to deliver the experience everywhere in the world.
The Show has been around since June 2018 and was hosted in multiple countries including US, Japan and Korea. The latest series started on October 19th, 2020 with focus on stories behind viral growth ventures and how to invest in them.
