Raymond Wu on Shake The Cosmos

How do you make people aware of what’s in their air? What should you consider before you jump ship to pursue your dream? What is the trade off when working for yourself vs a company? In this episode, Ray Wu of Wynd joins me to discuss air quality and how he traded a great career for the startup ramen world.

Ray Wu, Founder and CEO of Wynd. Ray founded Wynd in 2015. Before that, he served as a technology investor at Silver Lake, consultant at McKinsey, and engineer for Bose and Broadcom.
