On this episode of Think Like A Founder, SNP Co-Founder & CEO Maureen Taylor speaks with Andrew Zhou, Co-Founder of Kona. They talk about the distinction between remote work and working from home, the importance of giving candid feedback, and how failure, actually, is a gift.
Kona helps remote teams, fight burnout, build connections, and promote psychological safety with daily mental health checks. Andrew got a degree in Computer Science from UCLA, interned at Apple, and participated in the Techstars LA ‘20 cohort. Andrew and his co-founders recently raised $4 million in funding for Kona.
