Born and raised in Chicago, Tony Chan grew up in the Southside, a blue collar neighborhood. He was heavily influenced by hid Dad, who was a first generation immigrant, barely knew English, but started a restaurant. Tony took orders and took orders as a kid, sitting on a milk crate. This really shaped him as an entrepreneur. 

He is heavily involved in Chicago china town community, where he is interested in asian American history. He plays volleyball, specifically an isolated version in the china town community - 9 man volleyball - which is super high paced, and played on the street. He runs the Chicago indie hacker crew, meeting up once a month to talk about side projects. And he is a bulls fan all the way - but, he is a hardcore Sox fan, which can be a little controversial in an area where the Cubs are also just as iconic. 

He and his co-founders had experiences at prior ventures where it took a long time to report on cloud cost trends, and to know what you forgot to turn off in your infrastructure. After returning from a successful exit - and 3 years or so later - they all came back together to build their current venture.

As the pandemic flattens much of the U.S. economy, many technology firms are doing just fine. Business is moving online, and they’re well positioned to benefit. For tech CEOs like Box’s Aaron Levie, the experience can be bewildering. While you’re riding a wave most companies can only dream about, you’re watching the rest of the economy — including many of your customers — struggle to get by. In this conversation, Levie says this economy is “not sustainable,” and offers a look into his mindset as he tries to make sense of where this is all heading.

Kimeshan Naidoo grew up in a small sugar can farming town, on the east coast of South Africa. At 12 years old, he found an old python book, installed Python... and started to teach himself how to code. Five years ago, he moved to London to study for his masters in Computer Science at UCL. He is a triathlete, completing his first triathlon last year - and is planning to complete an olympic triathlon and eventually, an iron man race. He and his co-founder both moved from different countries to London, but didn't really know what to expect. They met up for a coffee to discuss an idea, which immediately spoke to Kimeshan - as he lived out the problem they were trying to solve when he moved to London. They decided to move forward and build a platform that embeds chat capabilities for high school or prospective university students to chat with current students at a particular school. In fact, Naidoo built the first version as his dissertation project. This is the creation story of Unibuddy.
