Ari, San Francisco
I'm a 21-year-old living in San Francisco. I was born in France but spent most of my childhood all over the place, in countries like America, Italy, and Canada.

My main focus is Solo Founders, where I work to make solo founding the default method of company creation in Silicon Valley. I lead media (a podcast with 1,681,309 views) and do whatever it takes everywhere else: code, special projects, and admissions. I also lead Merge, a grant program for talented young people working on technical projects.

On the side, I run Photography Lounge, a community of 39,882 photographers who send 10k+ messages every 24hrs on Discord. I also fund teen's passion projects with my friends at Bagel Fund.
