Origin Stories Inspire Success
- David Prichard and the Denver Ventures team invited three very successful entrepreneurs to join me for this episode with a live audience. They included: Kiley McKinnon, former Olympic freestyle skier and now co-founder of Halfdays. She created Halfdays to provide women with a better-fitting option for ski apparel, and to disrupt the male-dominated outdoor industry. Chris Petersen, co-founder of LogRhythm which, in 2021 was valued at $2.4 billion. Chris exited LogRhythm, and is now co-founder and CEO of RADICL – a company providing cybersecurity defense to small-and-medium sized businesses. Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic – the company we’ve all heard about that’s working to bring back supersonic passenger air travel by 2029. They’ve raised an astounding $700 million to fund this endeavor. OK – so, an outdoor gear company for women, a cybersecurity company and a supersonic jet startup – what ties them together? A great origin story. This episode was a blast to record! Audience Q&A is part of the podcast.
