I started my first company at 12 and have been building things ever since. Some of them worked.

At 14, I started writing on Quora and became one of the most-viewed writers on the site by sharing parenting advice and hypothetical scenarios about how the world might end.

Somehow, that led me to taking leave from EECS at UC Berkeley to join Fei Protocol as CMO. A year later, we were fortunate to be part of one of the largest DAO mergers of all time.

After that, I joined Founders Inc as its first marketing hire, leading growth and working on incubations as we backed over 100 founders with their first check.

Today, I'm the founder of Alif, an emerging technology venture capital firm. If you're building something cool and are looking for your first believer, dm me on X: @omarwasm.

I sometimes interview my most ambitious friends on YouTube.
