Telling a Standout Story
Feb 02, 2022, 11:00 PM
Aaron Anderson runs the Student Startup Center at UC Davis, overseeing undergraduate education and programs in technology entrepreneurship and is also a principal investor at the early-stage venture firm Impact Venture Capital where he focuses on corporate venture capital and regulated tech industries. Previously, Aaron served as the Harvard Business School Leadership Fellow and Director of Business Initiatives for Mayor Kevin Johnson in Sacramento.
He and Mark sit down for a wide-ranging discussion that weaves through Aaron’s journey from “military brat” to his stint in government and nonprofit economic development work through Harvard Business School to his current roles as an investor and educator. Aaron shares stories about the early career explorations that shaped his path and passes along some of the wisdom he has earned and acquired along the way. He also provides his thoughtfully developed perspectives on the current state of venture capital, the next generation of entrepreneurs, and what it takes to make a true impact.
