S2 Bonus: Andrew Overton, Saga

Andrew Overton is a finance grad from Howard University. He spent 3 years after graduation, in investment banking. After a while, he desired to work in tech and joined Graphiq in Santa Barbara to learn the ropes. During that time, he obtained his masters in CS from Johns Hopkins, and fulfilled his life long dream of working for Apple - specifically, on Apple Music data pipelines. Married to his wife Jessica, he is a family centered dude, looking up to both his brother and parents. And outside of tech, he loves to read and practice Ju Jitsu to blow off steam and practice thinking a few moves ahead.  During his career, he had the idea of saving his own family's story somehow, but drug his feet on the idea. In 2019, he committed to making progress and validated the idea - in fact, it was at this point where he connected with his co-founder, Amelia Lin, and set off to create a robust product to capture stories from your loved ones - through an easy interface, all in one place, and saved in audio format. It's like getting a personal podcast of your Grandma's childhood stories. This is the creation story of Saga.
