How Did Dave Schappell Start on His Entrepreneurial Journey

at 2:18

From the episode: Dave Schappell on raising venture capital as a repeat entrepreneur

Answer

Once upon a time, Dave Schappell was an accountant. Instead of complaining about the life that he hated, Dave did a Wharton MBA, got an internship at Amazon, and the rest as they say is history!

Dave stayed at Amazon from 1998 to 2004, working along side Jeff Bezos and a handful of key early hires. Then, he left to pursue other interests, first working with his Wharton friends at Jib-Jab, then founding his own startup called TeachStreet, and now once again working with a classmate, at MyPerfectColor.
