Six years ago, Marc Nager was sitting on his couch after losing his job, wondering what his next move should be. Was he feeling that all-too-familiar grip known as the fear of the unknown? Heck yes! It’s a moment so many of us as entrepreneurs have experienced. Instead of going after a safe corporate gig, he did what any member of the LivingUber community would do – he chose a next step fueled by passion, not by safety. Marc joined the 54-hour mini-incubator Startup Weekend, part of non-profit UP-Global. He joined a team that built a global community and resource center for entrepreneurs and developed a commitment to furthering the power of entrepreneurs in powering today’s (and tomorrow’s) global economy. On June 18, when I interviewed Marc for The Intrepid Entrepreneur, the news broke that UP Global/Startup Weekend was purchased by Techstars, a Colorado-based accelerator program for entrepreneurs. Listen in as Marc talks about this amazing journey and the future of UP Global, Startup Weekend and Techstars!
