On The Rise is a student-led podcast, which aims to inspire the next generation of leaders. Today we spoke with Maanav Khaitan, a director at the startup accelerator Free Ventures, the developer of numerous products (Beacon Safety, Apoyo, etc.), and a current student at U.C. Berkeley's Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology Program. Maanav discusses what motivated him to build his many projects, how he determined what problems to solve, and described his incredible experience with the M.E.T. program so far.
