We sat down with Caren Kelleher (MBA 2010) in the latest edition of the HBS magazine. As of early 2025, she is not only the founder and CEO of Gold Rush Vinyl but also co-owner of Waterloo Records. She has set her sights on turning the store into a "town square for music." Some of the changes include more floor space for the free shows that helped put the Austin record store on the map, a podcast studio, cafe, and a dedicated space where customers can watch the gold record machine do its work.
Earlier in her career Kelleher helped to launch Google Play and Google Music. She left her job at Google in San Francisco, landed in Austin and opened the doors of Gold Rush Vinyl in 2018. “I realized that if I could find a path where I’m always focused on that goal—how musicians can earn money—and follow the opportunities as they come, then I could have a long career in it,” she notes.
