GSA STARS PODCAST:

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

Tune into The GSA Stars Podcast: Down the Rabbit Hole, where we look well beyond the headlines and into the unknown paths of the founders and ecosystem builders within the Global Startup Awards (GSA) alumni network.

Every episode is a three-chapter deep dive, hosted by Kim Balle, CEO and Co-founder of the GSA – the world’s largest startup ecosystem platform, connecting 154 countries, millions of people every year, and counting 16 early-stage unicorns among its stars.

This is raw, authentic, unbridled entrepreneurship. It is about meeting those who put themselves at risk, exhibiting resilience, and who are out there building tomorrow before the rest of us can even envision it.
