Got invited to meet with Jason Calacanis and watch a Bladerunner 2049.
Booked my flight to SF, learned a lot, met some cool people, returned home with a job offer.
Spent the next 7 years working with Jason and investing in early stage startups.
During my time at LAUNCH, we invested in over 100 companies, including Calm, Superhuman, Grin, EightSleep, Density, LeadIQ, Fitbod, and others, We got to co-invest with some of the biggest early stage VC firms, including Sequoia, Craft Ventures, Social Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Khosla Ventures, and more. It was an incredible part of my journey. I consider it my undergrad and MBA... considering I dropped out of university. Forever grateful to Jason Calacanis & LAUNCH giving me a shot from a tweet. Now, I'm focused on building my own company, The Wellness Company, creators of GoPolar, SunSeek, Hotspot. We build products to help humans live healthier. I want to spend the rest of my life working on tools that achieve this. A healthy life is a pre-requisite to greatness in all aspects of life... and everyone should have the opportunity. So if we can build products and services focussed on that, I’ll die very happy.
I’m documenting the journey of building The Wellness Company on my YouTube. Follow along and say hi 👋 @preshdkumar.
