Stellar Pizza
In a key venture capital class project, I conducted a due diligence analysis on Stellar Pizza, an innovative startup featuring robotic pizza trucks. Meeting with founders and delving into their Series A round, I developed a cap table and explored valuation intricacies using PitchBook, Cap IQ, and AngelList. My focus extended to the strategic implications of liquidation preferences, evaluating their impact on investor returns and founder equity. This hands-on experience in deal analysis peaked my interest in venture capital, equipping me with a foundation in assessing startup potential, research, and investment risks.
TEDx
Curating the first TEDx event at my school was a profound lesson in leadership—beyond the logistics, it was about kindling curiosity and empowering voices. "Solve for Why" wasn't just a theme, but a call to action that led speakers and audience alike to question and connect over crucial socio-political and environmental discussions. Witnessing the exchange of groundbreaking ideas reinforced my belief in leadership as a collaborative, community-driven pursuit. It was here that I learned that leadership isn’t about doing everything right - or just about being organized or managing people; it’s about understanding individual inclinations. I’m passionate about leadership that isn’t assumed by ranks or positions, but is earned by tapping into the individual motivation of those you’re leading. By practicing rigorous authenticity and surrendering to the outcome of my actions, I realized that leadership is a verb, not a noun, and that success is a cooperative effort.
