Adam Choe began his career as an entrepreneur, founding a healthcare startup called Yonder. He eventually took his experience in the startup world and helped form Tundra Ventures, an early-stage fund that looks to fill a gap that exists for money and access, especially among underrepresented founders. Adam joined us in studio to share more about how Tundra Ventures was formed, what lessons he learned as a startup founder, his thoughts on the startup community in Medical Alley, and more.
