52 Founders

In this episode, you’ll hear about: -100 State, the largest coworking space in Wisconsin, and how it aims to be the center of gravity for the budding Madison entrepreneurial scene -How creating seven healthcare startups made the founders realize the need for Redox, and how the team solved the classic “chicken-and-egg” platform problem -Why his parents’ jobs instilled a deep ethical compass for Luke, and why you have to do what’s right even when it’s hard -Luke’s experience bringing iSAC , an international student exchange group that contracts with local city businesses, to Cornell -Why semi-informed advice is always the worst kind, and how to best take action from the cacophony of available data that exists -Why finding smart people is not the only metric you should considering when hiring, and why it’s imperative to think of what each hire will do when you are starting to scale At the end of the show, Luke shares one of his favorite Midwest startups (hint: it’s mine as well), his interest in the genetics / genomics space, and the future implications of sharing healthcare data.
