Welcome to Season 4 of the Founders Couch! This episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Frederick Daso, senior Forbes contributor who writes on college entrepreneurship. We interview the stellar John Peurifoy. John is currently the co-founder of Floating Point Group (FPG), a 14 person cryptocurrency trading infrastructure venture-backed startup. He grew up in Springfield, Missouri and graduated MIT with a double major in Physics and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. At MIT, his research focused on using AI tools to solve inverse design problems in physics. He holds 2 patents for novel neural network architectures, and has published in “Science Advances," ICML, and NIPS. Earlier in 2020, FPG raised a $2 million seed round from AngelList founder Naval Ravikant, Steve Kokinos, Seabury Global Markets, and BoxOne ventures. John is an active alumni with MIT and is known for his unique footwear apparel.
We talk crypto, what it's like to be a student founder, and having to decide between pursuing a PhD and running a company. Make sure to listen until the end to hear a special something... what Fred and I personally think student founders need to know. And, check out Fred's Forbes article on John & FPG from last April here.
