Madhav K.

Hi there, I’m Madhav. I’m a high school student living in Denver, CO.

I am a big fan of technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. I’m also interested in programming and in percussion music.

Some of my heroes in technology and business are Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Sundar Pichai, and Ray Dalio.

My career goal is to ideate, build, and manage specialized portfolios of companies innovating and creating economic and social value in the frontiers of high technology – FinTech (Blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, Cryptocurrencies), Cyber Security (Vulnerability and Threat Analysis and Protection, Database Recovery, Penetration Testing, Reverse Engineering), and Web3/Metaverse.

In my blog, I will spotlight a few companies that I think are having the right mindset and approach. I will specifically comment on what challenges they face, what they would need to do to overcome those challenges and provide a roadmap (in my opinion) for what they need to do differently to be successful. If you are a teenaged or millennial investor, you may benefit from some of the trends I will be highlighting!

I plan to develop my knowledge and skillset base in these broad areas. To that end, I will be actively scouting for learning resources in these areas. I will be reviewing and sharing content that have helped with my understanding of these exciting technologies. If you come across any useful resources, kindly drop me a note and I will try my best to review the content and pass along my opinion. (I am a high schooler after all, and needless to say, time is my biggest constraint.)

To achieve my career goals, I have been working on Python and Java programming, and educating myself on things like networking technologies and cyber security. I will be fanning out to other related areas like NFTs, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies over the summer.

During my Junior and Senior years in high school, I will be broadening my skillset to include economics and business (entrepreneurship).

CMU or UT Austin or Wharton/UPenn or UC Berkeley or Georgia Tech or UIUC or UI Bloomington or CU Boulder – I am ready for what you have to offer, are you interested?
