Slingshot: 20 Minutes to Do the Impossible [Creativity Series #23]

Harry Stebbings managed to break into venture capital -- one of the most difficult industries to work in -- at the age of just 20. And he did so with a side project that took a strong stance on industry norms: The Twenty-Minute VC. In this episode, he recounts the early days of coming up with his idea, longing to work with millionaires who would hardly give him the time of day, and the moment when everything changed. (Slingshots are short stories about a creative side project that led somewhere surprising or unexpected. They run every other week as part of Unthinkable.)   LINKS TO KNOW: Harry's side project: [http://www.thetwentyminutevc.com/](http://www.thetwentyminutevc.com/) Harry on Twitter: [http://twitter.com/harrystebbings](http://twitter.com/harrystebbings) Jay's Twitter (best way to chat and offer feedback): [http://twitter.com/jayacunzo](http://twitter.com/jayacunzo) Jay's Snapchat (go behind-the-scenes making the show): [http://snapchat.com/add/jayacunzo](http://snapchat.com/add/jayacunzo)   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Venture Capital Tech Startups Investing Brad Feld Mark Suster Tim Draper Social Network Mark Zuckerberg Podcasting Side Projects Creativity Craft Career Growth
