Kiva Lender: Eric Olson

Location: Chicago, IL United States
Occupation: MBA Student
I loan because: I want to help entrepreneurs build businesses that will pull them out of poverty.
About me: I am a student now but I used to help entrepreneurs build businesses by financing them and providing them with advice, support and contacts as a VC and I helped to build FeedBurner from the ground up as an early employee. I also enjoy cycling, baseball, drumming, movies, books, physics, history and a lot of other stuff.
