From Nightclub Owner to Founder & Investor - with Shaun Gold of OpenVC
There are a lot of paths into the world of entrepreneurship, but today’s guest has one of the most fascinating ones I’ve found yet. While running a popular Miami nightclub, Shaun Gold had front row seats to a parade of some very interesting and diverse people.
By being curious – and making connections – Shaun built a network that would take him on a whirlwind through the entrepreneur world. From startup founder, to investor, to the world of Hollywood and screenplays, and even a stint on jeopardy – Shaun’s ability to connect with varied people have taken him on some pretty amazing adventures.
