Carlos Rosenwald, MBA ’07, is a founder of Story Street Labs, a social platform for reading, writing, and sharing short-form content and serialized fiction that was part of the first incubator cohort at the Polsky Exchange. At its peak, Story Street Labs reached a global monthly audience in the tens of thousands before shutting down in mid 2018. Prior to Story Street Labs, Carlos occupied a variety of business development and strategy roles in the manufacturing, financial services, management consulting, and entertainment sectors across two continents. He is currently a strategy and innovation consultant with Egg Strategy in Chicago. He plans to draw from all of his experiences to revisit his many entrepreneurial victories and failures in what he hopes is an open, inspirational, and educational conversation that covers both the business aspects and the life implications of what it means to be a startup founder.
