#238 Mail-Right Show With Special Guest: Peter Sisson Co-Founder of Yaza

<p>Peter is a product-focused entrepreneur who has started four companies, all of which were acquired. I am now working on my fifth, called yaza.</p> <p>My expertise covers all aspects of designing, building, launching, growing and monetizing great products, designing and scaling organizations to support those products, and making them profitable.</p> <p>I volunteer my time mentoring startup founders at the European Innovation Academy and StartOut Growth Lab, where during my tenure we graduated 24 companies that together have closed more than $45M in funding and created more than 200 new jobs.</p> <p>I studied computer science at Cornell, have a masters degree in CSAI (Computer Science Artificial Intelligence) from Stanford, and an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.</p> <p>Outside of work, I am a passionate world traveler. I've flown more than 4 million miles and visited over 30 countries. My terrestrial adventures have taken me from 150 feet below sea level diving in Palau to 18,000 feet above trekking in Nepal.</p> <p>I believe that entrepreneurship provides a path to economic self-empowerment that doesn't require people to "fit in" with the traditional corporate grind. It offers a path to success and fulfillment for dreamers, big thinkers, innovators and creative people who want to have an impact on the world.</p> <p>https://www.yaza.io/</p>
