Various Adventures

• Upsured

  Vincent, Celine and I spent our weekends at Oxford trying to build something interesting in American healthcare insurance. We were young but driven, and interviewed at YC. The team ended up breaking up after we didn't get in but that probably worked out for the best. Vincent went on to found Prime Intellect and Celine founded Loyal.

• Shipwreck

  I was doing public health research in some very remote islands and was shipwrecked for 10 days or so. I was with other families and the ship had food but it was a very dangerous experience. At the time, I was not afraid of going outside of my comfort zone to answer interesting questions. I spent my evenings listening to YC podcasts and realized I should work in technology instead of being a healthcare practitioner.

• Bike Ride

  Before I was an adult, I biked 4,600 km in 30 days. That's more than the Tour de France on average. I raised a significant amount of money for scientific research into cancer. It was crazy, very very hard for me and great training for being an entrepreneur.
