Kumar Abhirup

I founded my first company (Beam Community, Inc.) when I was 16, and successfully exited after running it for two years.

I am a 20yo Founder and Engineer, having built many projects in past, I am on a path aiming to solve humanities' most pressing issues, in an iterative fashion, starting from most trivial things imaginable.

Led a hackathon team in Korea Blockchain Week in August 2022, and won 2nd place at two hackathons for judiciary.app, spent three months in Nonce Korea hackerhouse in Seoul, South Korea. I am in the evergreen process of learning, and I am loving it!
