Jo is a true storyteller. Storytelling is a means for sharing and interpreting experience s. Human life is narratively rooted, and as humans, we construct our lives and shape our world into homes in terms of these groundings and memories. Stories are something universal and can bridge cultural, linguistic, and age-related divides. Jo has found his passion in providing us with stories and news from the startup world.
