#MeetTheStartups, Episode #2: Inside the Teams

By, Eric Duboe, 1871 team intern

In the second episode of #MeetTheStartups, I had the opportunity to walk around 1871 and speak to various startups about their past. Watch as founders provide brief narratives of their early team history and how they formed. As each conversation concludes, founders are asked to describe their team in one word.

Thanks to our entrepreneur participants in this video: Chuck Templeton of OpenTable, Erik Severinghaus of SimpleRelevance, Phil Leslie of ProOnGo, Jesse Pinho of Mobcart, Todd O’Hara of Toodalu, John Pytel of GoSoapBox, Erica Bethe Levin of Cheeky Chicago, Justin Massa of Food Genius, and Genevieve Thiers of Sittercity/Contact Karma.

Tune in next week as #MeetTheStartups continues to offer a unique perspective on entrepreneurial development in and around 1871. Episode #3 will feature an exciting progression of  “Products in 30 Seconds.”
