The Host

The Startup Onion will usually be hosted by Steven Drost: two time entrepreneur, once successful, once failed. He has extensive experience of hiring, building revenues, selling companies, fund raising, and more. He has the scars and war stories to prove it.

He is currently the Chief Strategy Officer at CodeBase, and sees many startups per year. He loves to help business grow and network founders with peers, customers and investors.

It won’t always be Steven hosting, however. Keep an eye out for other hosts from the CodeBase community.
