Martin Basiri is the co-founder and CEO of Apply Board, a company he and his 2 brothers launched in 2015. Since then, Apply Board has raised nearly $500 Million dollars from some of the most influential VC's in North America. In this EP, Martin and I discuss the idea of "knowing very little" when starting a business; raising hundreds of millions of dollars, and the difference between raising a seed, vs. series A, B, C and beyond; the 5 pillars of disruption in the education space; why immigration and talent are key factors for powering a nation's economic growth; and more.
