Perfect Pitch by Kickstart


Nov 8, 2022

One of our favorite parts of this podcast is learning more about our guest's founder origin stories and how that inspires their business. Today we're talking with an entrepreneur who's building a solution inspired by a problem he faced as a student. Join us in today’s conversation with Wil Eyi, Founder & CEO of Toolbox, and investor Curt Roberts of Kickstart (a VC firm for startups in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West) as we bring you both sides of a Perfect Pitch. In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • How Wil’s immigration and college story impacted his startup
  • The importance of spending time in the problem your company is solving
  • An investor’s perspective on a startup’s pivot
  • Why an obsession with your customer is a necessary component for a successful startup
