Every couple needs a smart, shared brain space


I’m happy to have my friend, Abdullah “Ax” Ali, on Foreign Founders. Ax’s story starts as a war refugee arriving in Baltimore with just $20, working his way through community college to one of the top PhD programs in Human-Computer interactions and publishing over 20 award-winning peer reviewed papers along the way. With stints at Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Bilt, he’s co-founded 3rd Brain for couples to do life better, together.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • Ax’s childhood growing up in a war torn country, moving to Jordan and then to the U.S.
  • Watching “The Social Network” and being inspired to build technology products
  • Pursuing PhD in Human-Computer interactions, and Ax shares the most interesting paper he co-wrote
  • How Ax and his co-founder used so many different products and techniques to plan as a couple
