Bonus: Savarth Misra, ContractPodAI

In his prior profession as a lawyer, Savarth thoroughly understood how contracts were done. He also noticed how little tech adoption was present, which directly impacted the effectiveness of contract management in general. He figured it was only a matter of time before this industry - his industry, was disrupted by tech.

E19: Kirk Marple, Unstruk Data

After selling his prior company, which was heavy in the broadcast media space, Kirk ended up at General Motors. He started to learn about media data, and the value of getting the media data into computer vision algorithms. Five years later, he realized that no one had created a platform to do this yet… and he got started building it, on nights and weekends, first for podcast discovery.

Bonus: Stephanie Florio, Swob

Stephanie didn’t know what sort of business she wanted to start. That was until her brother got frustrated with looking for a job, and together, they figured out there must be another way. They did some research, and used their knowledge of popular dating apps, to create a simple, swipe-able platform.

E17: Girish Redekar, Sprinto

In his prior startup, he went through the painstaking process of becoming SOC2 certified. This experience stuck with him - so much so, that when he and his co-founder ventured out to start something new, they decided to create something to make this easier.

Bonus: Stephen Mathai-Davis, Q.ai

Along his journey, Stephen realized that his friends didn’t have access to the same money management tools and strategies that institutional investors had. He became inspired to offer these types of investment tools to the average person.

E16: Jimmy Jacobson, Stake.rent

Post graduation, the job Jimmy had lined up got cancelled. Last minute, he joined some alumni slack channels and sent a cold message to his now co-founder. He found himself fascinated by the idea of giving cash back to people for paying their rent.
