Cryptocurrency is slowly but surely taking over the world, one blockchain at a time. Unfortunately, the IRS has caught on and isn’t going to let people make money off crypto investments without paying taxes. But the silver lining is a tech startup like ZenLedger, which works to help investors and tax professionals with their tax compliance needs as it relates to cryptocurrency. In the latest edition of the Silicon Valley Momentum Podcast, Roland Siebelink spoke with ZenLedger co-founder and CEO Pat Larsen. They discuss ZenLedger’s strengths as a company and Pat’s unique journey to becoming the CEO of a startup: How Pat’s time as a chemistry major and Navy pilot led him to become a CEO. The challenges of deciding you want to be a CEO before having a use case. Why startup leaders should take every meeting they can get when looking for investors. Why curiosity is a quality that startups shouldn’t overlook when hiring employees. The importance of CEOs accepting that they don’t have all of the answers, as long as they’re looking for answers.
