Dakota

Lifelong Midwesterner, currently living in Kansas City along with the wife and two pets (dog-Sunny, cat-Kit Cat). I'm passionate about building solutions with outcomes of healthier communities and people, which is what has led me to working in an endeavor that's aimed at helping to drive adoption of regenerative agriculture. (check out Rooted Ag) Beyond work, I love spending time in nature and observing, making warm connections with people, and listening to good music.

Michael

Michael Lai's six word story is “failed professional athlete, striving education entrepreneur.” He is currently building Tinycare, a network of micro daycares aiming to fix the childcare crisis. Previously, he built Promise, a nonprofit venture studio for early childhood development, Minerva Project, Google.org, and competed on Harvard's varsity golf team (where he was decidedly NOT the next Tiger Woods). His passion for education starts from the classroom — 6 years volunteer teaching preschool, elementary, and middle school.
