Description

In this episode of Develop Yourself, I sit down with Gabe Rucker, CEO of Founding Titans, to discuss everything from entrepreneurship and building startups to the practical side of networking and getting money from thin air.

We also dive into how Parsity students gained valuable, hands-on experience through an internship with Founding Titans, working alongside a real AI startup team.

Topics we cover include:

• Gabe’s journey from coder to founder—and what he’s learned along the way
• How to raise capital, attract the right investors, and avoid common startup pitfalls
• Validating your ideas and building a minimum viable product (MVP) that people actually want
• Why networking is critical—for both startups and job seekers
• The role of AI in software development today—and its limitations
• Behind-the-scenes: how our internship with Parsity students worked in a live startup environment
