Pushing the Bounds of Sun Care and Business with Derek Jouppi

This week our host Steve McGarry sits down with Derek Jouppi, the Exited Co-Founder of the startup “Suncayr”. Where Derek and his team were able to develop a sunscreen that can tell you when it’s time to re-apply. The startup came out of a group project in college where Derek and his group of close friends took the project to a full blown start-up and company. The two dive deep into what the conversation leading up to the exit was like, and what they are currently doing afterwards.

 

Derek is currently focusing on special projects at Entrepreneur First in Toronto where they encourage and help support entrepreneurs while they build their idea and company. They select individuals that they recognise to have huge founder potential, from all walks of life, and bring them together to find their co-founders. Entrepreneur First creates the ideal environment for entrepreneurs to trial partnerships, and test ideas at a rapid pace. They cover your living costs while you do so, and give you access to a global network of founders, advisors and investors.
