"I quit university and put all my time and energy into getting the MVP finished", says Sean Yu

Entrepreneur Sean Yu started his career at Lehman Brothers and Gryphon Investors. His interest in economic development took him down a different path to entrepreneurship. His startup Paraşüt has since been acquired by the largest private equity firm in Turkey. His story is packed with tips and insights that I wish every entrepreneur knew about before launching their startups. From listening to the market to solve a real problem, to launching small and iterating to test that solution, he displayed several traits that all successful entrepreneurs share.
