My story

How I got here

  1. 2016

    Started a sneaker resale business

    Turned a high-school hobby into a real operation - sourcing, flipping, and shipping shoes at scale.

  2. College

    Computer Science major

    Went to Middlebury and fell in love with coding and computer science - that's where building software became the thing.

    Sold the business

    Sold the company sophomore year of college so I could go all-in on studying and building what came next.

    AI research at Stanford

    Spent the summer between sophomore and junior year in an AI research program at Stanford. That's where AI stopped being a buzzword and started being the thing.

    Founder Drew was born

    Realized most people still had no idea how to actually use AI in their work or business - so I started making content to fix that.
