If YOU are:

✅ a start-up founder

✅ a new entrepreneur

✅ an employee contemplating entrepreneurship, or

✅ someone who wants to learn about what it takes to create a business

then this conversation is for you!

Edwin Handschuh, CEO of 1Konto, a digital assets platform and creator of an institutional venue for zero counterparty risk, explains what led him to leave his flourishing job at a renowned bank.

He drops so many nuggets:

🎤 "Starting a company from scratch without prior experience was a big risk, but it was the only way to get that experience.."

🎤 "Most people overestimate the risk in making career goals: what is your actual risk? You're not facing financial ruin if you screw up. You're basically you're gonna have to go work for somebody else again..."

🎤 "Go work at a startup. And once you do a year, two years, three years in a startup, that's like 10! And you can come back to corporate America if you want and jump over that ceiling..."

And many, many more!

ABOUT EDWIN HANDSCHUH

Edwin, CEO of 1Konto, holds a BS in Finance from Drexel University and began his career in Sales & Trading at Wells Fargo, where his group managed $350 million in assets under management of High Net Worth Individuals.
