Sid is the Co-founder of Circle. He immigrated to the US with the goal of building his company. After building Teachable as a founding engineer & VP of product, he decided to take the risk of leaving the job & hack on different ideas.

Sid's journey is incredible - it's a classic "American Dream" story.

We talk about his background, the big decisions he had to make & how he tackled different problems he faced on the journey. I felt so inspired after this conversation, I'm sure it'll inspire you too!

Specially if you're someone who's thinking about doing something of your own - I'd highly recommend hearing his story!

Longevity is one of the most interesting topics I've been curious about. Alex is the cofounder of Age1 - they catalyze contrarian, founder-led companies that will increase healthy human lifespan, yielding the most valuable companies to ever exist. 

Through their investments, they strive for counterfactual impact. They are creating a future where all people have agency over how long they live in good health. 

Our vision is to make aging and age-related disease optional for all.
