We welcome Faisal Younus to the couch! Faisal is a recent Harvard dropout who studied Applied Math and Computer Science. Hailing from Long Island, New York, he is the cofounder of Athlane (https://www.athlane.com/), a YC-backed company from the Summer ’19 cohort that is looking to be the connective fiber between streamers and brands, facilitating sponsorship and endorsement deals with more transparent data and analytics and a streamlined communications flow. Athlane has products for both brands and streamers. They recently raised $3.3 million in seed funding from investors like Y Combinator, Jonathan Kraft (President of the New England Patriots), Michael Gordon (President of Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club), and more. What got him into esports? How did Harvard help in his startup journey? What does he think was what got him and his cofounder into YC? When and why did he decide to take a leave of absence? What about the do’s or don’t’s when speaking to investors?
