John Dascher is the new CEO of the E2E Accelerator, which is launching this year in Wichita, Kansas. Dascher has been involved in venture capital and business acceleration outside the Valley since 1997, when he started with the Ben Franklin Technology Partners in Philadelphia. Most recently, he worked as Investment Director for two venture capital funds in Denmark with a combined capital base of over $200 million. SPN caught up with Dascher over the phone.

SPN: You’ve been involved with startups for almost two decades now. Tell us a bit more about how you got into the field.

JD: I started my career as an aerospace engineer for about a year in Philadelphia, where I grew up and where I went to school. I just knew I didn’t enjoy engineering work in a factory environment.
