How a 23-Year-Old Dropout Built a $110M Tech Company to Combat Loneliness — Avante Price

How do you find a technical co-founder and raise millions before you turn 24? I sat down with Avante Price, co-founder and CEO of Posh, the New York events platform that raised a $22 million Series A at a $110 million valuation when he was 23.

Avante opens up about growing up lonely with Asperger's, how DJing around New York after moving for NYU helped him make friends, and the five days he spent cutting 10% of his body weight for high school wrestling. We get into the odd jobs business he ran in high school, why you should ask customers for their problems and not their features, how Posh tracks whether a community dinner pays off, and his plan to build a TikTok for events.

He also explains why his health comes first and the business second, and why he thinks happiness comes from belonging.
