47. Uni Student Turns Tech Startup Co-Founder Raising over $400k in 1 month via Kickstarter

ENTER THE COMPETITION HERE!Find out more about the online university we spoke about!Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast!Today I am joined by a good friend of mine Scott Mckeon. Scott is the co-founder of a tech startup called Espresso Displays. He has created a super-thin, portable touch screen monitor that connects directly to your Mac or PC. This is a sick product, I am a massive fan of what he has created and super keen for you to hear his story.Today we dive into a bunch of different topics... We get into Scott's story, how he came up with the idea and brought it to market by raising over $500,000 through Kickstarter, we talk about his uni experience as an engineer, we discuss a book project the two of us are working on, we dive deep into the rise of the freelancer, plus how we think education should be taught, and much much more.This is an awesome conversation and Scott has generously offered to give away two package deals of his tech product to the listeners of this show valued at $650 USD each. This is actually crazy and literally, all you have to do is fill out a form which will take you 2 minutes.I am not getting paid for this, he offered to give them away for free and I thought it would be a sick opportunity for two of you to win something awesome just by being a listener of the show. So my advice is before you forget to click on the link in the description at the top, fill out the form and you could be in to win $650 USD worth of tech.The link will also be in my Tik Tok bio and Instagram bio, but for 3 minutes of your time, I highly recommend you take advantage of this.We discuss the giveaway briefly at the end of the ep as well but others don't forget to DM me on Instagram, DM Scott on Instagram if you enjoyed this episode and remember to sign up through the link in the description.Find Scott:Espresso Displays: https://espressodisplays.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scottmckeon_/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottmckeon1/Byrons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in
