Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S10 Bonus: Eric Leebow, FreezeCrowd
Eric Leebow was born in New Jersey, and bounced around a few states growing up. He has always been a gadget and tech enthusiast, growing up curious. At a young age, he could be found drawing, creating new things, and tinkering with headsets. Outside of tech, he is into juggling, playing and watching basketball. He's based in New York, and has been a vegetarian since he was a kid.
When he went off to college, Eric had with him picture books. He noticed that there were key words next to each person, which indicated their interests. He thought, wouldn't it be interesting if we can use this information to connect people within school?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S10 E16: Mihri Minaz, Beams
Mihri Minaz is originally from Turkey, and has 4 siblings in different industries. Being good at math and problem solving, he was drawn go study computer engineering, and eventually was in the industry for a while before starting her current venture. Upon reflection, she feels it was supernatural for her to live in Turkey, be a woman, and end up in software. Eventually, she moved to Berlin and continued to be a unique case in the industry. Outside of tech, she enjoys watching art movies and shows, like Turin Horse or Fargo. She is learning piano, but travels so much for work, she has picked up DJ'ing, cause she can't bring a piano with her.
In the past, Mihri's experienced problems with her team, as far as measuring and optimizing productivity. This was related to the different number of tools used, along with the lack of a unified view of these tools. She and her co-founder clicked on this problem, and decided to build a solution.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S10 Bonus: Wes Tatters, Rapyd Cloud
Wes Tatters has had a crazy, diverse career history. He is been in IT for around 40 years, and started in the days before the internet. He has had two paths - multimedia and information technology, of which both merged early in his career. He has been writing books since the early days of the internet. But outside of tech, he is married with kids, and in their downtime, they enjoy being together and sharing the world with one another.
Ten years ago, Wes started in on the Wordpress space. He immediately saw that most experiences utilized shared hosting, and he also had customers wanting to build community environments. The problem was most hosting providers didn't perform well enough to support the components needed for these types of sites.
