Engineering A Startup #14: Bouncing Back From the Wrong Kind of Exit

Check out my special guest appearance on the Engineering a Startup podcast. 

The following was taken directly from the Engineering a Startup podcast website. 

Engineering a startup is a podcast that tells the stories of people who build things, people who change things, and people who start things. Learn what it takes to make it from people that eat, sleep, live and breathe startups.

Jose was a university student excited about entrepreneurship when he joined a biotech startup, ready to execute an exit strategy and become a millionaire, until the founder refused to sign his ownership papers and showed him the door. His perspective on entrepreneurship has changed since then, but his passion hasn’t.

Jose Fulgencio is the founder of LDMS media, and educational media and technology startup. He is deeply entrenched in education, as a student, a teacher, and entrepreneur, and has lots of interesting insights on the future of education, and why he thinks students shouldn’t be paying $300 for textbooks.

Jose’s dream originally was to be a political science professor, until he took a course in entrepreneurship, and has never looked back. He’s been through some of the lowest lows of entrepreneurship, but hasn’t given up, and that’s what really makes him inspiring.
