Episode 188: E1 Tech Talks with David Russick

Today on the podcast link up with the Entrepreneurs First (E1) Collaborative for their most recent E1 Tech Talk. The E1 Collaborative is a partnership of 15 different organizations across southeastern Minnesota to provide programming and support and to enhance regional connectivity for tech entrepreneurs. This initiative is supported by funding through Launch Minnesota. As an E1 Partner, I got the opportunity to moderate this Tech Talk with guest David Russick. David is a serial entrepreneur who got his start in the waste management industry before founding the local investment group Gopher Angels. On the show today we talk with David about his start in entrepreneurship and transition into investing, the launch of Gopher Angels, and what ingredients he thinks it takes to be an investable company. Be sure to tune in today for this conversation.

Join E1 for their next E1 Tech Talk on August 27th at 2PM with NimbeLink CEO Scott Schwalbe.
