Then I became a tech team lead at vinelytics.com, usher.events and other startups before ultimately becoming a COO and 10% stakeholder. I left the company just prior to it being acqui-hired because I knew I wanted to stay in startups. Later on original founder Stephen Bryant asked me if I'd like to start a new company by the same name. I said yes and the Arcanium of 2021 and onwards was born.
