Description

Explore tells the stories behind the success of entrepreneurs and investors around the world. Hi there👋, I'm Hugo Rauch, a financial analyst at Microsoft and the host of Explore. I've always been fascinated by startups, in 2022 I wrote a 100 pages paper on the startup economy. In 2023, I wanted to learn from experience and I started Explore. I'm made myself the goal of supporting early-stage founders with theoretical and practical learnings. Consider following and giving 5 stars to support the show! ✨ A feedback or an idea, reach out to me on LinkedIn (Hugo Rauch). 🤝 *Opinions expressed are solely my own and do not express the views or opinions of my employer.
