Why business school (and why MIT)
I've always seen the value in networks and communities, and when the opportunity to attend MIT Sloan came up, I saw it as a chance to both contribute to and embed myself in one of the most important ecosystems in the world. We're in the middle of an AI transformation, and a huge amount of the foundational research is coming out of MIT. Everything is shifting, and I wanted to be where the shift is happening.
Core threads
Most of my time at Sloan has been spent building. I've been deep in the agentic web — exploring agentic CRMs, agentic memory systems, agent-to-agent experiences, and platforms that treat AI agents as first-class participants rather than features bolted on to existing software.
MIT roles
I'm on the leadership team of the MIT $100K, the longest-running student startup competition in the country. I've also been putting together a working group to better connect MIT Sloan and the MIT Media Lab. And I launched the Cambridge Founders Club — an extension of the community-building work I started in New York — complete with a full-stack application I built to support it.
How Sloan fits the bigger arc
The MIT chapter isn't a detour from building — it's an accelerant. I'm using this time to reinvent Pangea as an AI-natively powered platform, agentically driven from the inside out. The question I keep coming back to is the same one I've been asking since Brown: what does the future of work look like, and how do you build the platform that meets it? The tools have changed dramatically, but the mission hasn't.
