“My goal was to go to as many burgeoning ecosystems — that have ambitions of being tech hubs or have ambitions of being a city of entrepreneurs — as possible and learn,” Criss said. “I wanted to meet leaders in every place; I wanted to meet movers and shakers in every place. I wanted to meet the best entrepreneurs.”
“It was successful but not lucrative,” he recalled. “I wanted to stay in the world of entrepreneurship, so I worked at several other startups and helped my friends get ideas off the ground. And then I went to go build a Techstars company with a CEO and CTO. … I’ve always been thinking about how to build a high-growth company, and one of the most important parts of that is surrounding yourself with the right people.”
