Founder & CEO at Atoms
Niche: Technology
Revenue: Not Publicly Disclosed/month
Location: Los Angeles, California, United States
Started: 2018

My intensity came from my early startup years where I went without a salary and struggled to buy groceries. I ran a massive company with the precision of someone afraid of starving.
