Ep 29. JUAN MEDINA - "Death, Startups and Raising Capital as an under-represented Founder"

In this episode, Rob (flying solo without our absent but amazing co-host Ileana) welcomes the founder of Lalo, Juan Medina, from Seattle, WA. Juan is the definition of nomad, having been born in Brazil, to Colombian and Bolivian parents who then grew up in Kentucky, USA and attended university and built his early career all across the United States. He and his family are now happily settled in Seattle Washington. He shares the unique story, of standing at his Father's grave,  and being inspired to build Lalo, his company, which deals with two of life's universal truth; Death and our Memories. He also talks about the struggle to "fit" the patterns of modern day VC as an under-represented founder of color.  Juan is an experienced executive leader and first time entrepreneur, with a passion for developing people and building new ventures. His 20+ years experience came across Healthcare, Retail, Private Brand and Cloud computing with a few major global brand companies. He served as Director Marketing, Ambulatory Care at Cardinal Health, Sr. Manager Vendor Management at Amazon, Sr Manager Strategic Initiatives at AWS and Senior Manager across multiple product areas, again at Amazon.  Feel free to follow and engage with Juan here: Twitter: @AtJuanMedina LinkedIn: @juanemedina Correo: [email protected] Lalo App: https://www.lalo.app We're so grateful to you, our growing audience of entrepreneurs, investors, builders, influencers and those interested in the entrepreneurial economies of Latin America and the under-represented entrepreneurial communities in the USA!
