Kiva Lender Eric Olson

Location:
Chicago IL United States
Occupation:
MBA Student @ the University of Chicago
I loan because:
I want to help entrepreneurs build businesses.
About me:
I am a student now but, as a venture capitalist, I used to help entrepreneurs build businesses. Additionally, I helped to build FeedBurner from the ground up as an early employee. I also enjoy drumming, cycling, baseball, economics, physics, history and a lot of other nerdy stuff. That said, my first passion has always been investing so Kiva is a natural fit for me.
