SPEAKER: Casey Schorr
Co-founder Printfection
Official Bio (always a work-in-progress): Casey Schorr co-founded Printfection during his sophomore year in college, from his dorm room. He is responsible for setting and executing the overall business strategy in a hyper-growth environment. Under his leadership, the company has grown revenues from zero to seven figures in the first two years of operations without any venture capital.
Prior to founding Printfection, Schorr founded Shirt-Outlet.com in high school from his parent’s basement. The company set up and managed online t-shirt stores, providing the inspiration for Printfection. Schorr holds a bachelor of science degree in finance and marketing from the University of Denver.
In his free time, Schorr enjoys skiing waist-deep powder in Colorado’s backcountry, golfing, traveling, and partaking in any random adventure.

HOST: Brian Tsuchiya
Founder of Startup Guru
Brian Tsuchiya is an authority on crowdfunding, after spending the last 8 years researching a variety of methods he has unique experiences with crowds. Including having a company entirely funded with "sweat equity" from over one hundred people. Managing that many shareholders is unique for a privately held startup. Brian also has raised over $2M of private equity.
Brian is the founder of StartUp Guru and started his entrepreneurial journey 18 years ago and has since launched ten startups. Startup Guru is the culmination of this extraordinary journey. He has openly shared for the first 40 years of his life he primarily served himself and lived a life without purpose. Then in June of 2006 he read a book that would change his life forever. He embarked on a journey that connected his life purpose with his entrepreneurial career. Through this work he understood his patterns and defined his life in a way that revealed his purpose. Forged in him was the way of the entrepreneur.
