I do startups. An outline of my (somewhat) related experiences:

Age 17: Altered my school’s dress code to include a pretty cool quarterzip; involved design, getting 98% of the 170 something student body’s signatures, and writing a quite compelling petition

Age 18: Published and started selling my first poetry book | Tried bitcoin mining in my dorm

Age 19: Published and sold more books & formalized the endeavor with an LLC, Ovidysus | Admin’ed in a trading discord | Helped non profit PPE4NYC with some digital marketing | Tried drop shipping—sold one golf range finder

Age 20: Sold more books | Ran and wrote about a test hedge fund

Age 21: Co-founded and ran a hedge fund | Co-founded a company for fintech research tools

Age 22: Raised small angel round for the fintech company | Helped develop and get nearly 1000 users for our first product | Pivoted the fintech company to sales intelligence | Left hedgefund

Age 23: Tons of customer discovery & product development with the sales intelligence tool | Closed multiple B2B contracts for the same | Generated over $600K in pipeline for a client in 2 months at the same | Co-Founded BirdDog, my current project.
