I recently left one of the world’s largest hedge funds, and finance in general, to launch Tutorspree. How am I going to do that? Well, that’s what I’m figuring out every day.

Observations on that, technology in general, and what I encounter along the way will form the substance here. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line at akharris at gmail dot com. Have fun with it, play safe.


   Schedule a lesson with me!
   
       I’m a private tutor on 
       Tutorspree

&lt;p&gt;I love New York City. I grew up 10 miles away. I left for college and came back. I left for YC and came back to build &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.tutorspree.com"&gt;Tutorspree&lt;/a&gt; with Ryan and with Josh.
