Vibhu is the CEO and co-founder of DRiP, a next-generation creator platform that enables artists and creators to distribute creative content directly to their audience. Creators earn microtrips from their community as thanks and develop direct relationships with their followers in a space centered around creativity and enjoyment.
Prior to DRiP, Vibhu co-founded the Solana Stores and b8ta, two brands that blended IRL retail for emerging tech.
Vibhu was also an engineer at Nest (part of Google), as well as Roblox and MySpace, which formed the foundation for his focus on great user experiences and passion for supporting creators.
