“After I spoke to the members of the Junior Economic Club of San Francisco yesterday, I felt invigorated.

I always love sharing my story, teaching others how to evaluate startups, and providing advice on how to break into venture capital.

What was even more rewarding was hearing the attendees' insightful questions; it was clear that they were not only listening to my presentation but were also thinking critically about the information that was presented.

Thank you to Emily Gorodetskiy and Haifu Owen for organizing this event! I'm looking forward to continuing to support The Junior Economic Club's mission of bringing together the best and brightest high school students in San Francisco to an unparalleled ecosystem of discussion, exposure, and leadership.”

“Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak to high school students at the Junior Economic Club of San Francisco on Think Big: A Harvard Student’s Guide to Building Startups. The Junior Economic Club fosters a community of the brightest young minds in San Francisco, connecting them with opportunities to solve real-world economic challenges in the public and private sectors. I was invited by Emily Gorodetskiy, President of the SF Junior Economic Club, to share my journey and answer students’ questions about entrepreneurship…The questions and LinkedIn messages I received after the talk were incredibly heartwarming. Supporting and connecting with high school students passionate about entrepreneurship is something I deeply value. Thank you, Emily, for inviting me to share my journey and lessons with such a talented group of students!”

“Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to high school students at the Spring Forum hosted by the Junior Economic Club of San Francisco about my career journey: the highs, the lows, the pivots, and the life lessons learned along the way. It was a meaningful experience to reflect on the successes and failures that shaped me plus the life lessons I wish I had known when I was their age.

A huge thank you to Emily Gorodetskiy, Vallabh Himakunthala, Arin Kumar and your fellow students for organizing the event! And big thanks to Darrell Young for the introduction, connection to the group, and taking photos!

Mentoring the next generation isn't just about giving advice - it's about offering encouragement, belief, and possibility. There's nothing more inspiring than seeing young people so full of curiosity, ambition, and hope for their futures. “
