Video interview with Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora. Tim has built an extremely successful online startup and he discusses the story of how he came to start this revolutionary music company.
He is inspirational and bases most of his success on his never say die attitude.
Tim tells the story of flying back from New York City after pitching 10 different venture capitalists and returning with no money. He took a 2 flight trip via Southwest Airlines, which was the cheapest available. Waking up the next morning was dread and hopelessness, but through perseverance, determination and work he managed to acquire funding and continued to grow the company.
Have you been inspired by startup founders?
