In elementary school, Dillon’s first office was in his parents’ garage where he made miniature skateboards, which were the beginnings of him selling products internationally. In college at the University of Southern California, him and his co-founder, Jarett Chen, created a location-based messaging platform called Spop. They created UNUM to help solve their marketing and creative workflow for Spop because they couldn’t afford to hire a creative agency. Today, more than 16 million people in over 190 countries have used UNUM to manage their social media, from big brands to celebrities.

Tuple is an app for doing remote pair programming, which allows for live feedback and collaboration between team members. After Slack bought a similar product and it didn’t work out, Ben saw there was still a market for this type of tool. When Ben’s not thinking about pair programming, Ben’s hobby and passion are singing. He sings in a chorus in Boston called Tanglewood Festival Chorus, which is a group that sings with the Boston Symphony.
