This has been a recurring theme; even during high school, I led ventures with friends. There's nothing more fulfilling to me than embarking on meaningful experiences with dedicated individuals. Two of my co-founders at my new venture started their careers at AppNexus, and witnessing their growth and now co-founding a company with them feels incredibly special.
