Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 Bonus: Christopher Brown, Zabo
Christopher Brown has always tinkered with computers, by building them and creating websites. However, he struggled through his life to figure out which area he was passionate in. He joined the military out of high school, and now is married with 5 kids. He and his wife focus a lot of their time on family activities, basketball, hide and seek, watching movies or just simply laughing together. When Ethereum came out, he was hooked - and found inspiration in the historical marker that cryptocurrency was making. In getting involved, He found that he had difficulty keeping up with who was building what in the space - and he could only imagine how hard it was for outsiders to keep up. This inspired He and his co-founder to build Zabo, which connects any app to crypto currency via an API.
