Code Story | Startup Podcast for CTOs, CEOs and Technical Founders

Chelsey Roney graduated from Texas A&M in 2011 (whoop!). She is passionate about building businesses, as her current venture is her 3rd startup. But prior to her entrepreneurial adventures, she worked for Microsoft and Boeing, gaining incredible big industry experience. Outside of tech, she has a busy home life, being married, and a Mom of 2 young kids. Her family has a number of furry friends at their house, including a husky and a few cats.

During the first Halloween during COVID, Chelsey and her co-founders experienced the need for mappable addresses, in organizing Seattle trick or treating. What was built for that holiday got media attention, and their crew decided to build it right, apply to an accelerator, and bring their solution to the world.

Ethan Song is a boarder through and through - enjoying snowboarding, surfing, etc. and doing it as often as he can. He loves to read, and has moved more into non-fiction over fiction as he has gotten older. Prior to his current venture, he co-founded Frank & Oak, a successful thoughtful and ethical apparel and e-commerce company.

After the successes of his prior company, Ethan started to explore web3 as a technology, and a product offering. He noticed that most people were focusing on visual assets, but he wanted to create a tool that allows companies to depend their engagement - and revenue - with their customers.

Joe De Pinto was born and raised in Los Angeles, and was drafted to play professional baseball in the minors for the White Sox. He's always had an active lifestyle, and now lives at the beach and surfs regularly. In 2015, he and his current co-founder started a company called Barpay, which makes it easier to get drinks at busy bars.

In January 2021, Joe and his co-founder are sitting in their office, frustrated that no one was getting what Bitcoin - that is BSV, not BTC - was originally created for. They asked themselves, what could we build to illustrate the utility of blockchain?

Paul McCarthy grew up in Cork, Ireland, and went to school there. He lives around the corner from the sea, and likes to dip in now again - literally, swim in the ocean. He calls it a great shock to the system, but ensured that I know he doesn't spend a full hour in the water.

Five years ago, Paul was fed up with the archaic ways that properties were managing their safety, maintenance and work orders manually, through platforms like WhatsApp. He set out to build the simplest way to manage your hotel, facilities and team - using photos.
