On Episode 8 of the Dark Horse Podcast, I talked with Vasu Kulkarni, CEO and founder of Krossover, an online basketball analytics platform. Vasu has been deeply passionate about basketball since he was growing up in India, where he was listening to games on the radio at 6 in the morning before school. He knew he wanted to be involved in basketball somehow, and decided to start at the top, writing a letter to NBA commissioner David Stern asking for a job. When that didn’t pan out, he decided to start his own company, and 10 years later, found himself celebrating the Cav’s championship win in the locker room. Tune in to hear more about his journey, his potential stand up career, and our co-host Johnny Saliano’s amazing stories about Prince!
