Branch.com Co-founder Hursh Agrawal Drops out of College and Raises $2 Million to Curate Conversations

In late 2011, NYU student Hursh Agrawal and Princeton student Josh Miller each took a leave of absence from their universities and teamed up with Cemre Güngör to build a company called Roundtable.“You have to build this ‘thing’ that you believe is cool and interesting and is going to bring something to the world, but convincing other people … is another challenge entirely.”

The trio bootstrapped the company from New York City for four months, eventually moving to San Francisco in early 2012 to build the product with guidance from investors. In May of that same year the company — now called Branch — returned to New York City to empower people to talk about the world around them.
