Episode 8: A Holistic Startup Approach with Teja Yenamandra

In this episode, Diana sits down with another client of hers, Teja Yenamandra, to chat about his company, Gun.io. Gun.io is an online platform that helps businesses find and hire elite freelance software developers at a moment’s notice and is used by companies like Tesla, CISCO, and NBC.

Teja shares about his unique startup journey, which started in China. After working for free there, thinking he was going to go to law school, and experiencing life as a dark-skinned man in a society that’s not used to seeing people who look like him, Teja found his passion for startups and moved back to the U.S. to start Gun.io, which is still running strong seven years later.

You’ll want to stick around until the end of this episode to hear Teja’s holistic approach to entrepreneurship, which is focused on mind, body, and spirit - something not many startup founders talk about.

You can find Teja on LinkedIn or at tejayenamandra.com, and don’t forget to check out Gun.io and the Frontier Podcast at the links below!
