MIT graduate and former Apple intern starts tech startup helping NFL/NBA players

Podcast with Jacob Rothman, the co-founder and CEO of Perch

▬ In this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
We talk about his early days as a mechanical engineering student at MIT, as well as his internships with Apple and Oculus. We also talk about how he and two of his friends decided to start their first company while still being students at MIT, and how he managed to balance it with his studies. Next we discuss fundraising and how to get early investors.

After the podcast, we made a demo of their product. Fast forward to see me almost get crushed by heavy weight :)
