The Career Path From VC, To Big Startup, To Creating Your Own Startup

The Career Path From VC, To Big Startup, To Creating Your Own Startup

Author: Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger May 16, 2024 Duration: 34:05

I talk to Emily Luk, Co-Founder and CEO of Plenty, a wealth platform for today's modern couples about her career path from VC, to joining a big startup, to creating her own startup. I wanted to now why she lifted a cushy job with good pay.

If you're a couple interested in a great tool to manage your finances together, check out Plenty. They've got a great cash flow tool that enables individual, joint, and private money management. Plenty also offers Direct Indexing investment at a low cost. 

I've personally met the team multiple times in their offices in San Francisco as I consulted for them.
