"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards." - Albert Einstein
Contributing Author: Stacie Walker
My guest today is Chris Coleman the co-founder of SavySwap. Chris and his co-founder were able to raise a 5 figure round of funding from investors.
Chris is a former journalism student at Howard University but decided to drop out of college after teaching himself how to code and founded a tech startup.
What to expect during this episode:
1.) Chris shares how learning outside formal education became the very thing that started his journey as a successful entrepreneur in the tech industry.
I know formal education is important but not everyone has to go this route. Sometimes real life experiences can be your best teacher.
2.) Chris is a real world problem solver. He sent venture capitalist emails on LinkedIn and pitched his ideas and they liked them and told him to do two things. The first thing was to find a co-founder and the second thing was move to California.
The rest is history!
3.) You are about to learn how this young entrepreneur with no prior connections raised funding by using YouTube!
