to business and understand there is a method to his madness? Charlie sends everyone
into a panic when they learn they have to give a one-minute pitch about their startup; their
presentations let the staff know where their businesses are now and where they need to be on Pitch Day. As it turns
out, Charlie and Sequoia aren't the only tough critics; their classmates have a few opinions of their own. Erin's
concept doesn't quite receive the positive feedback she was hoping for, while Shawn and Sharon aren't impressed
by their competition. Meanwhile, make-up demonstrator and notable Youtube personality Michelle Phan visits Draper
University and shares her business background and motivation for success, a story which really resonates with Ana.
Other guest speakers this season include Naveen Jain (Founder, Moon Express, World Innovation Institute, iNome,
TalentWise, Intelius, and Infospace), Ben Parr (Co-founder & Managing Partner of DominateFund,), Jesse Draper
(Founder, The Valley Girl Inc), Jane Buckingham (Founder & CEO, Trendera), Michael Volpatt (Co-Founder and
Partner, LarkinVolpatt), Allie Webb (Founder, Drybar), Gina Kloes (Founder, EOS Programs), Dan Price (Founder &
CEO, Gravity Payments), and Erin McPherson (Chief Content Officer, Maker Studios). Michelle Phan also returns
later this season.
