Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S5 E18: Tigran Nazaryan, 10Web

Tigran Nazaryan started out doing science in University. In fact, he was studying physics, and then went on to do his PhD in Astronomy in Astro Physics. He never imagined he would eventually become a CEO of a company. He's a research guy, and introvert naturally, who likes to read, hike, and do nothing... and by do nothing, he means watch a sunset or the waves of the ocean.

After school, he joined a company with his friends creating Wordpress plugins. At first, he though engineering wasn't that interesting. But, as it turns out, he decided it was not less interesting than science and research.

Eventually, he and his business partners decided that they could do more than plugins... by hosting and automating the entire ecosystem. He saw great potential that this type of opportunity could grow big.

This is the creation story of 10Web.

The Best One Yet - 🩲 “Who wears short shorts?” — Chubbies’ frat IPO. Southwest’s hangover. Nobel’s burger-flipping prize.

The artist behind Chubbies’ shorts is going public, but it’s really a fraternity. Southwest Airlines just canceled so many weekend flights that its stock dropped (and the mysteries began). And the Nobel Prize for economics just tested an ancient theory: Would a $15 minimum wage make McDonald’s lay off their burger crew? $DTC $LUV Got a SnackFact?
