Starting a company is thrilling, but also daunting. But what happens if you try building a company in a place where you may or may not have the community and the network to support you in your efforts? I want to ask foreign founders why they decided to take the leap and build their company in a specific location. With this podcast we are exploring ideas, listening to founder challenges, and discovering why foreign founders are the most optimistic group of people I've encountered.

#55 Ax Ali, Co-Founder of 3rd Brain

Every couple needs a smart, shared brain space

I’m happy to have my friend, Abdullah “Ax” Ali, on Foreign Founders. Ax’s story starts as a war refugee arriving in Baltimore with just $20, working his way through community college to one of the top PhD programs in Human-Computer interactions and publishing over 20 award-winning peer reviewed papers along the way. With stints at Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Bilt, he’s co-founded 3rd Brain for couples to do life better, together.

In this episode, we talk about:

Ax’s childhood growing up in a war torn country, moving to Jordan and then to the U.S.
Watching “The Social Network” and being inspired to build technology products
Pursuing PhD in Human-Computer interactions, and Ax shares the most interesting paper he co-wrote
How Ax and his co-founder used so many different products and techniques to plan as a couple
