At 19, I started my first company, Shovel Apps, "The WordPress for mobile apps", and took my first solo trip abroad to San Francisco. I stayed in a rough part of SF (Tenderloin), ate pizza at events, and negotiated Uber rides off-app to save a few bucks.

I got accepted by three US universities, but none offered a full scholarship. Without a cosigner or residency, I couldn’t get a loan. Therefore - I could not attend. 💁‍♂️

Today I did my first angel investment in a @ycombinator startup. Their founders are tenacious, humble and ship-obsessed. I can’t be more grateful to support them on this journey. @octolane_app is building an AI-powered CRM that will change the way companies engage with
