Managing ten co-founders, building a platform to fund/mentor global entrepreneurs: the FalconX story

In this interview with theUpstreamLife.com we talk to Murali Chirala, CEO of FalconX, the global accelerator and fund which is focused on bringing startup ideas to the USA. The platform is bullish on Indian entrepreneurs to build business in the USA. What is interesting is that some of its co-founders have built and sold businesses worth billions of dollars. Some of the big co-founders at FalconX are B V Jagadeesh and Raja Reddy. The founders who participate in FalconX's global immersion program will have access to some of these stellar names for mentorship. FalconX has also recently announced a $20 million fund.
