Young Social Entrepreneur Seeks To Leverage Millennials’ Passion For Good
Sean Nasiri is creating an equity crowdfunding platform for his own generation, GenY, and he’s appropriately calling it, “GenYrator.”
To explain why he’s focusing on millennials, he said, “More young people are becoming entrepreneurial or electing to join startups, so there needs to be more done to support them. Also, because we are the most powerful generation on the planet.”
He’s not only interested in tapping into their entrepreneurial nature, but also wants to tap into their focus on social good, by creating a “mission-driven portal that wants to make investing about more than just returns. We are combining real investments with real positive social impact, but this is NOT a philanthropy, though it can still give you the same good feeling.”
On October 9, 2014 at 6:00 PM Eastern, Sean will join me for a live discussion about the new site, his generation and his plans to make a difference. Tune in here then to watch the interview live.

Sean’s bio:
Sean Nasiri is the Co-Founder of GenYrator, and a proud member of Generation-Y. Born and raised in the heart of Silicon Valley, Sean has entrepreneurship in his blood and received early exposure to all the benefits of an established startup ecosystem.
While attending school at the University of Southern California, Sean noticed a spirit of entrepreneurship that rivaled those more well-known entrepreneurial institutions closer to wear he grew up.. Through his travels and involvement with collegiate entrepreneur organizations such as Kairos Society, Sean met a lot of other talented young entrepreneurs with promising startups. He realized, though, these startups lacked a similar level of support and resources found in Silicon Valley, and he wanted to bridge that gap
Sean made some attempts at corporate life working at technology companies, Motorola Mobility and Salesforce.com, before quickly realizing it was not the right route for him. He has since been working on GenYrator for over a year and is excited to launch its private beta over the next couple of months.
