Keynote Speaker

Rishi Narayan is an entrepreneur and early-stage investor based out of Ann Arbor, MI. While pursuing degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan, a random encounter with a tow-truck driver kickstarted his entrepreneurial drive and led him to change his career aspirations. Along with a childhood friend, Rishi co-founded a custom apparel company, Underground Printing (www.undergroundshirts.com), which has expanded to 35+ locations across the country. During this journey, Rishi’s academic and professional mentality has transformed from an emphasis on obtaining a “Slow A” to executing a “Fast B.” Rishi practices this “Fast B” philosophy every day as an entrepreneur, startup mentor, angel investor with Chibor Angels (www.chibor.co), and as a lecturer in the Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan.
