Short overview
Nick shares how his passion for entrepreneurship and machine learning began during his university studies and eventually led to a successful career at IBM. Despite working on startups on the side and frequently joining founders’ clubs, it wasn’t until a year and a half ago that he decided to quit his job and focus full-time on his current project, The Residency.
Nick explains that the company was originally called Venture Years, then RYVIN (ryvin.xyz), before eventually rebranding to The Residency. We discuss the reasoning behind the name change and the main idea behind The Residency, including the services offered and the goals they pursue.
We also explore how The Residency utilizes innovative teaching methods and AI technology to help young entrepreneurs become successful and build their own startups. Nick shares his insights on how AI positively impacts learning and the creative process. We also talk about the ideal candidate for The Residency’s programs and its business model.
We host engaging conversations about naming, branding, and entrepreneurship, exploring everything from initial triumphs to the hurdles along the way.
