About this listen
Episode 3 of the #Origins series has launched. 🚀
In this episode, we had Kai, founder of Rocket Academy, a coding bootcamp that helps mid-career switchers land on their first tech role. 👨💻 👩💻
His journey as a founder did not start with Rocket Academy. After Kai caught the entrepreneurial bug at Silicon Valley while taking Computer Science at Stanford University and working at Nuna Inc., he started Project We Forgot in the healthcare industry before founding #RocketAcademy to help people become #SoftwareEngineers almost 4 years ago.
After helping Tech folks land jobs in top tech companies in Singapore, in the likes of Grab, Circles.Life, foodpanda and Decathlon , Kai is on with the next big thing, to #expand beyond the shores of the Red Dot, to Hong Kong, his second home! 🇭🇰
He also shared with host Eric about:
- Key #pivots of Rocket and how the decision was made
- Importance of #teamwork, especially as a sole #founder
- "It’s more important to have 100 users who love the product than 1000 users who kind of like the product."
