The Focal Point with Aakshun

The Focal Point is a podcast for students and first-time founders: the people at the very beginning, with a laptop, an idea and a lot of questions.

I'm Aakshun, a 20-year-old computer science student at ASU, trying to build something of my own. Instead of figuring it all out alone, I sit down with the people who've actually done it: founders, venture capitalists, professors, researchers, coaches and marketers.

A focal point is where scattered light comes together and turns into something sharp. That's what each episode tries to do: bring different perspectives together on AI, technology, entrepreneurship and startups, so we can learn and grow together.

Questions we dig into:
• How do I know if my idea is good enough?
• Do I need a co-founder?
• What goes through a VC's mind during a pitch?
• What do I do when it stops working?

New conversations regularly. Subscribe and join in, and drop the question you'd ask a founder or VC in the comments.
