Day Eight-One: Series A or Coffee Financing

Today I got the chance to spend the day in Palo Alto, home of Stanford University. I spent the morning at Blue Bottle Coffee which has to be a new favorite coffee spot. Trader Jack is going to have to raise a round of funding just to pay for my coffee addiction!

I spent the day meeting with a variety of my mentors to lay out the next steps for Trader Jack. Even time I talk about, work on or even think about Trader Jack's Future I get extremely excited. The company has so many paths to take advantage of so many opportunities in the vacation rental market.

The more the company grows and the more people I talk to about Jack, the more I can see a clear future for the company. Starting Draper University I said that I wanted to found a company but its now starting to feel very real. I am starting to get the typical college senior question " so, what are your plans for after college" and I feel like I have a better and better answer everyday. Run the world is the ten year plan but Trader Jack is great place to start.

Cheers,
