S8 Bonus: Matt Swalley & Hikari Senju, Omneky

We’ve talked to so many entrepreneurs on this show so far - people who have made a huge career change to start a business in a field they’ve never worked in, or those who took a risk to hang their own shingle after years of experience in the corporate world. Today, I wanted to dive a bit deeper into entrepreneurship by talking to someone who has made his whole career out of it. Hikari Senju is the founder of Omneky, a platform that helps businesses reach their most valuable customers using deep learning algorithms to generate, test and manage ads. A Harvard graduate in computer science, Hikari began his entrepreneurial career with his first startup, Quickhelp, which he sold to Yup.com before creating Omnekey. Today on the show, we talk about what it takes to build a career as an entrepreneur. Find out more about Omnekey at https://www.omneky.com/
