Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 E5: Dan Burcaw, Nami ML

Tech and entrepreneurship has always been super intertwined in Dan Burcaw's life - through his family, and starting to tinker with computers in the 90's. He played Baseball when he was younger, along with playing video games and interestingly enough.. keeping up with foreign policy (is that a hobby?). Currently, Dan studies Brazilian Jujitsu and its endless progress of growth and evolvement, while taking care of his 2 pets (and their 3 eyes... you'll have to ask him). His prior company was in the push notifications world, which became a mission critical system for notifications, ultimately bought by Oracle. Afterwards, he and his co-founder started looking at the way people monetize their apps, specifically diving into subscriptions. In doing so, they found out that there weren't many app millionaires in existence - so, they set out to build a better way to sell subscriptions inside app experiences, not only by abstracting the tech bits, but by using machine learning to prompt users at just the right time. This is the story of Nami ML.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 E4: Yoshi Yokokawa, Alpaca

Born and raised in Japan, Yoshi Yokokawa started his career at Leimen Brothers in the US. In doing so, he was exposed to the fragility of the economies, yet saw how all things were connected and potential for areas of automation - IE, where things didn't need a human hand. A marathon runner, triathlete and yoga teacher, he attempts to understand himself physically, spiritually and mentally. When he set out on a venture of his own, he originally started building deep neural net prediction models for trading funds and hedge funds. In doing so, he quickly figured out that in order to scale this quickly, his solution would need to work with existing brokerage firms and banks. It was at this pain point that he decided to pivot and build Alpaca, the best way for developers to trade US stocks through an API.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 Bonus: Shawn Frayne, Looking Glass Factory

Shawn Frayne grew up dreaming of being an inventor. His heroes were the inventors of yore, like Thomas Edison and Tesla. Growing up, he was inspired by TV shows and movies, like Beyond 2000 and Back to the Future 2 - specifically, when Marty McFly gets eaten by the holographic shark. Believe it or not, to kick back and relax - he likes to have a cold beer and think about inventing other things... though he is fine with cheap beer, and has even been lovingly called Frugal Frayne by his team. Shawn recalls that Edison once said, All you need to invent is an imagination and a pile of junk - and he lives by that, with the added part of having his kids around in the mix. He studied physics at MIT, and post graduation, while everyone was heading to Silicon Valley, he was curious if anyone could still be an inventor. He decided to pursue this dream, and eventually cycled back to the inspiration from back to the future - the hologram. This is the creation story of Looking Glass Factory.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 E3: Mark Hendriks, Wild Ventures

Mark Hendriks has been a product designer for 11 years. His family and he love to travel, see the world and visit national parks. He currently live in Spain with his wife and son, off the grid. And by off the grid, I mean a house on 20 acres, with its own solar power system, and own rain water collection system. But don't worry... he made sure he checked the LGE network speed before buying the property. Five years ago, he started a side project, building a weather app that combined up to date weather with his wife's beautiful landscape illustrations. Shortly after - Apple started promoting their apps, and their business started to take off. Today, they have ventured into nature based mindfulness apps, through their company known as Wild Ventures.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 E2: Dave Zohrob, Chartable

Dave Zohrob has been coding since before he can remember. He is among the crews where their Dad's bought TRS-80's hooked up to the TV and loaded games from tape drives. He loves music, and even ran a small record label in San Francisco. But nowadays, he focuses on his family with two little kids. While working at Angelist, he and his co-founder decided to start another thing together... the problem was, they didn't know what to build. Dave had been a podcast listener for a long time, but never really thought about what was under the hood. After considering a few different avenues, including yet another podcast app, they decided to focus on podcast analytics - some might say the App Annie for podcasting. This is the creation story of Chartable.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 Bonus: Andrew Smith, Outrider

Andrew Smith grew up playing in the woods of northern New England. In 6th grade, he was given a car and drivers magazine and fell in love with Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches - who didn't? In 7th grade, his science teacher told him they got bad fuel economy, so he was inspired to change that. He currently lives in Oregon, though Outrider is based in CO, he is passionate about mountaineering, climbing and skiing, with whom he does with his friends, colleagues and family any chance he can. He has always thought the largest business opportunity and moral obligation is the commercialization of environmental technologies. Taking a look at the 10 billion tons of freight that is shipped annually.. in the US alone... his perspective was solidified. This is the creation story of Outrider.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S3 E1: Cole Raven, Podchaser

Cole Raven has spent many years in Indiana. Immediately out of college, he started a business that failed quickly - but early on, he knew he wanted to do his own thing. His wife and he just moved to Hawaii... they have been a full time travelling couple, following the Spartan Race for quite some time - so obviously they are into trail running! Prior to his latest venture, he signed on to Vibenomics as one of their first employees, early on in their startup inception. He learned a lot about startups - about fundraising, and what it takes to build a successful startup. A few years ago, he and his team figured out that podcast episode discovery is downright terrible. There is no IMDB for podcasts. After some community polling and volunteer participation from a team in Australia, they set out to build Podchaser - which is your source for podcast discovery.
