Meet Akshat, a college graduate from Ghaziabad India who currently works at Apple in the Siri division. Even with a full time job, he founded Slingshot, a global startup incubator that pairs smart, motivated, technically sound high school students with current university or recently graduated startup founders. Listen to Akshat share how growing up in India made him into an enthusiastic observer and creative problem solver, and led him into the world of entrepreneurship in high school, when he represented India at the Taiwan International Science Fair.
Akshat explains how Slingshot was born from the realization that there is tremendous untapped potential amongst high school students. Listen to the incredibly unique internship opportunities Slingshot provides, and their success incubating companies from the ideation phase to raising money in seed rounds. If you are an intrinsically motivated high school student with aspirations to experience real world engineering, or a startup founder who is ready to build a prototype and mentor students, Slingshot is made for you!
