What\u2019s it like to be a startup founder? Not the hype, not the spin. What\u2019s it really<\/em> like? That\u2019s the thesis behind the TechCrunch podcast Found<\/a>. Each episode features an interview with an early-stage founder to tell the story behind the startup.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t think of a better place to broadcast a live Found podcast than TechCrunch Early Stage<\/a> in Boston on April 20. And we\u2019re thrilled to announce that hosts Darrell Etherington and Becca Szkutak will interview Russ Wilcox. Currently a partner at Pillar VC, Wilcox commercialized electronic paper displays by founding E Ink, which Amazon acquired in 2009.<\/p>\n

Found interviews are open, honest conversations about the process of founding a company, and why anyone would want to do that in the first place. Expect to hear about Wilcox\u2019s leadership style, his fundraising experience, the reasoning and passion behind his product \u2014 and wherever else the conversation might lead.<\/p>\n

Russ Wilcox is a general partner at Pillar, a seed-stage VC firm in Boston. He entered VC after a career as a serial entrepreneur. Wilcox previously served as CEO of E Ink, a company he co-founded to commercialize electronic paper materials invented at the MIT Media Lab. E Ink conducted groundbreaking research and shipped tens of millions of displays for the Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, B&N Nook and other devices. Wilcox sold the company for $480 million.<\/p>\n

Wilcox also co-founded Transatomic Power, a project to develop safer and cleaner nuclear energy, and Piper Therapeutics, a preclinical drug-discovery company pursuing a preclinical target for immuno-oncology.<\/p>\n

Wilcox graduated with honors from Harvard College with a degree in Applied Mathematics and was a Baker Scholar at Harvard Business School.<\/p>\n

TechCrunch Early Stage<\/a> takes place on April 20 in Boston, Massachusetts. You\u2019ll walk away with a deeper, working understanding of topics and skills that are essential to startup success. Buy an early-bird founder pass<\/a> before prices go up on April 1<\/strong>. No fooling \u2014 you\u2019ll save $200.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
