This week on ReDirected, I got to chat with a co-founder of Coder, Ammar Bandukwala. Coder’s three co-founders — Bandukwala, Kyle Carberry, and John Andrew Entwistle — first met online while in high school. The three were soon collaborating to build and monetize Minecraft plugins and servers, eventually moving on to a series of other projects, some successful, some not. Frustrated by the complexities of collaborating remotely on software development, after graduation Ammar, Kyle, and John Andrew moved to Austin and started Coder to create the development tools they wish had been available for them. The trio rented a building they nicknamed “The Shack,” hired a couple of developers, and got to work. If you haven’t yet, please rate Redirected and subscribe to hear more.

Keeping on with our Forbes 30 Under 30 series, today I got to chat with Jeremy Cai.

The manufacturer sets the price and splits the profits with Italic. Italic sells 100 products, ranging from cashmere sweaters to leather wallets to 400 thread-count sheets, with plans to double its assortment by 2020. It raised $13 million in funding in November 2018. If you haven’t yet, please rate Redirected and subscribe to hear more.
