Hamed originally went to Cornell University to play baseball, but fractured his back trying to steal a homerun and had to quit sports. While his back was recovering from the injury, he taught himself to code and created a news summarization website. When that startup failed, he created CoVenture, moving nearly full-time to New York City. For seven months he was basically homeless while in New York City, alternating between couch-surfing with friends and living and sleeping in Starbucks or Union Square Park.
Hamed (now) employs about 40 developers and designers (all of whom are full-time professionals, not students) to create solutions for companies with non-technical founders and big ideas. It will build $30,000 worth of software in exchange for 5% equity in each company.
