    • Jason Chao on challenges of building AI agents, crypto, and real estate tech
      Feb 6 2024

      🎤 Tran interviews Jason Chao, her former co-founder and a current master's student in computer science at Stanford. Jason’s early entrepreneurship journey began as a high school dropout when he raised a million dollar through an ICO to build a wireless mesh networking company. Although this venture ultimately did not succeed, it inspired him to pursue computer science at Stanford with the goal of becoming a technical founder. During his Stanford junior year summer, Jason built a real estate transaction management platform. He shares his struggles of being a solo founder, building a solution for one customer that didn’t scale to others, and ultimately pivoting away from real estate. Leveraging his experiences and learnings, Jason discusses his current start-up, Loral Labs, and on building the future of APIs for AI agents.
