I'm a big EDM fan and so having the chance to bring my love of music to my writing has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for letting me help tell your story of pivoting from music to ML/AI. Can't say many DJs who've played with Diplo or Skrillex have done that.

Pivoting from working in tech to making art is a story we've all heard. But have you heard of someone pivoting from art to tech? That's DJ Fresh (aka @djfreshuk), who used to play sets for crowds as large as 40K. Now he writes code that collects hundreds of Github stars. 👇

The year was 2001. Ben Horowitz thought he was done for. Loudcloud, the 450-person startup he'd started with @pmarca & others, looked like it would fail — until they pivoted. Six years later, @bhorowitz sold to HP for $1.6B. Here’s his story👇

He read it because he had a natural curiosity — an obsession — for airplanes. Now how he helps people write to discover what they're passionate about — *obsessed* with. This writing often helps people find the right community and work for them.

A hand holding Pivot, the first print issue of Meridian. The cover shows a maze graphic with pivots and different starting points.
The back of Pivot, the first print issue of Meridian with a quote from Ben Horowitz: "everything we learn about decisions is right answer, wrong answer. My situation was one where both answers were wrong. I just picked the better battle."

Love that interviewed my parents for this profile on me. It includes a line you'll find in any story of an Indian-American in tech: "His parents are proud — even though he’s not a doctor." meridian.mercury.com/sheel-mohnot

"A really high percentage of entrepreneurs are immigrants. And I gravitate toward those people," says @pitdesi. I spoke not only with Sheel but also his parents, who immigrated in 1974, to learn about Sheel's love of supporting fintech around the world: meridian.mercury.com/sheel-mohnot
