Ankur Jain is a 31-year old entrepreneur who left Silicon Valley for a clear purpose- to create companies that solve problems affecting us everyday like healthcare, student loans, rent, housing affordability, child and home care. Richard Branson said: “Ankur has a rare ability to take on complex societal issues and come up with simple, practical solutions that make you wonder how no one has done this before.” And Branson is right; Ankur is a world changer. Now the founder and CEO of a VC, Kairos HQ, he built his first company at 11 years old and at 26, sold a company to Tindr. We talk about the launch of two recent start ups Bilt + Rhino; both are trying to save you money on rent. We also chat about the financial future for millennials, the barrier to home ownership and the long term effects of that, space travel, when he gets his best ideas, the simple question people forget to ask when starting a company. He also lets us in on his biggest entrepreneurial secret.
