LifeBlood: We talked about how to get to the point where you can feel and know “I am unstoppable,” the qualities which are necessary for success as a startup Founder, deciding to be a victor instead of a victim, and how to shape your perspective to your benefit with Edrizio De La Cruz, former Y Combinator Visiting Partner who sold his company to MasterCard. Listen to learn the two things that make Edrizio different! Ex-Y Combinator Visiting Partner shares 7 principles on how to turn obstacles into opportunities in his new book In The Underdog Founder. Edrizio De La Cruz shares his odyssey as a Dominican immigrant who grew up in Harlem, dropped out of college and the US Air force, to become aircraft technician and help makes ends meet. He later returned to college, worked on Wall Street, and earned his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In 2013, Edrizio co-founded Arcus, a fintech company that was backed by Y Combinator, Citi Ventures, SoftBank, and Ignia. In 2021, the company was ultimately sold to Mastercard.
