Collaboration with The Michigan State Entrepreneurship Association Zoom, 7 P.M.
On Tuesday, March 9th at 7 P.M., the Entrepreneurs Society of the University of Michigan – Flint, in collaboration with the Entrepreneurship Association of Michigan State University, proudly present An Evening with Kunal Mehta, a Zoom-exclusive speaking event. Kunal Mehta is the author of Finding Genius, a look into the world of startups, entrepreneurship, and venture capitalism. The Entrepreneurs Society has collectively researched Kunal’s findings and has invited Mr. Mehta to speak more on how to be a successful modern-day entrepreneur. Guests of the event are encouraged to bring their questions for the venture capitalist.
Kunal is a Venture Capitalist with Hearst Ventures and is also the author of Finding Genius and Disruptors. Kunal’s most recent book, Finding Genius, is based on over two years of interviews with the venture capitalists who first invested in companies such as Uber, Airbnb, Tesla, Twitter, Pinterest, Space-X, and others. With a focus on creating a more diverse perspective, the book also invites several emerging VCs from different genders, socioeconomic backgrounds, and geographies, to write their own chapters on specific verticals of interest to entrepreneurs. Kunal’s book has been featured at J.P. Morgan, Harvard Business School, NYU, Columbia, and across other conferences and universities. Kunal began his career at J.P. Morgan as part of the Smart Start Scholarship program. He left Wall Street in order to join the non-profit, charity: water, where he helped support the clean water initiatives in East Africa. Kunal launched his own startup, Unfold, and raised venture financing for that operation. During these seminars, Kunal speaks to these experiences, and candidly shares his stories from speaking with founders/VCs and his own experiences building and investing in startups.
