Early Childhood: I grew up in a home of riches, where my grandfather owned 1800 acres of land, a huge landlord. He was also a very successful lawyer. However my father, also very successful in civil services of the government, very educated, passed away when I was one year old. My mother raised me in the shadow of my grandfather. My mother with her Masters degree in Economics, obtained a Law degree and worked alongside my grandfather. My mother also made a name for herself in social works, helping the poor. She is my first inspiration, a teacher and an entrepreneur. Schooling: As I was growing up, my mother always sent me to the best schools. She was so fond of schooling, that she sent me to kindergarten at the age of 2, class 1 at the age of 4. Catholic schools were big part of my early education and she wanted nothing but success for me. I finished High School at the age of 16. I then went to college at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, obtained a Bachelors in Computer Science. I had the opportunity to work with some of the best professors from a private school. I graduated from BYU in 1996. Professional Career: While I was going to school at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, I was lucky enough to receive an internship opportunity with IBM K-2, school software systems. I worked part-time at IBM, my junior and senior school years, 20 hours a week, while getting paid a great salary. This allowed me to work for Novell, right after graduation with a Computer Science degree and move to the Silicon Valley in 1996. I worked for Lockheed Martin for 6 years, hi5 for 3 hours, worked for a few startups and banks since then. I have been in the San Francisco Bay Area, California for over 20 years. Entrepreneurship: While I was working for bebo, a social networking startup in 2009, that sold to AOL for almost $1 billion, I had a dream one night, that if I don’t start now, I will be crying later. I was so scared from the dream that I worked all night, and coded the homepage for mytweetmark. Bebo traffic was on a decline, having fierce competition with Facebook and Twitter. It was the right time to do a startup, so I worked nights and weekend, built a minimal viable product. Since then, entrepreneurship has been the most rewarding experience, continue building on the lessons learned. From the skill prospective, startups require fast execution. While I was working as a senior software engineer at hi5, the founder used to take me out for coffee and explained the mantra, “One good engineer is equal Ten”. The motivation to keep going, keep coding, till the team milestone, which is to exit the startup is reached. Hence, initially when I started building the mytweetmark product, I realized that I have all the skills needed to build a minimal viable product. Now the dream has become bigger, having learned many entrepreneurship lessons along the way. The best skill is to be humble, always be a student first. Future: By signing up in the Founder Institute program, I am really hoping to build the next generation of platform, that helps local economy and business. I believe that building a synergy model among local networks, for example local food and farmers market via homecook, can scale everywhere in the world. The local community everywhere needs help, bringing them up to social media. However, automate marketing is needed, so the focus of the local business can be on the product and revenue. Artificial intelligence is needed to automate the workflow, for example generate internet traffic for local business through mytweetmark. With the one-click buy option, when a user buys from the local business, each transaction is revenue potential. The local business in this case receives an email notification, and delivers the product, while receiving the money into their bank. The mytweetmark platform receives a transaction fee. Our revenue model and sales channel still needs to be flushed out, however many of the software services are already currently used by the local food and farmers market business.
