The expectation was that Manu Edakara would become a doctor or a lawyer, but Manu's passion was for something far different. After testing pre-med and pre-law programs in college, Manu discovered that he was an entrepreneur at heart. And today, he heads up the iVenture Accelerator at the University of Illinois, helping other budding entrepreneurs follow their passions as well. Manu is Tim Sinclair's guest on this episode of the Gies Download podcast.

The iVenture Accelerator Program is powered by Gies College of Business. To learn more, visit: http://iventure.illinois.edu.
