The Origins of Harge Taggar's Journey

Harge Taggar's entrepreneurial journey began during his college years when he and his cousin, Kulvir, launched a startup called Bozo, which focused on creating a marketplace for college students to buy and sell textbooks. Despite the humorous challenges of their company name, which was misunderstood by immigration officers, the startup garnered attention and was accepted into Y Combinator in 2007. This acceptance marked a pivotal moment, as it changed how the founders were perceived and treated by investors, who began to recognize them as serious entrepreneurs rather than mere students. The newfound respect from Y Combinator was a significant shift for Taggar, who had faced skepticism in the UK startup landscape, making the experience transformative.
