🧑💻WHO AM I?
If you’re new to my channel, Hey 👋 I’m Deric, a builder in EdTech, AI & Web3.
Building on the future of education & work!
My journey started in 2019 when I became flat broke after leaving my job in venture capital to self-learn coding to build my own tech startups.
Now, I'm actively:
1. Helping people learn practical full stack coding skills in 3 months & get their first job in tech.
2. Running a software consultancy for businesses/startups/family offices.
3. Building a HRTech startup that helps match users find their dream jobs 10X faster.
Went broke twice but finally hit $80,000/month this year with our small team of 15 staffs & it's been a crazy ride.
I know this is only the beginning! Shooting for $1M/month by 2030.
Created this channel to share my wins, losses and learnings while navigating life as a 27 y/o tech entrepreneur.
If my videos can genuinely help just one person - that would make me feel fulfilled for doing this!
