Conder Shou

Yo, you gotta hear about Conder Shou. This guy’s a straight-up tech prodigy turned startup legend. So he’s a YC S20 alum, that’s the Winter 2021 batch, if you’re keeping score, and he crushed it there, raising a cool $2.6M from heavy hitters like YC itself, Madrona, Fuel Capital, and even Harvard. No joke, he’s legit.

Before all that, he’s got a solid background. Worked at Facebook, now Meta, as a software engineer. Dude was deep into some serious projects, like helping build the LSP protocol for Hack and working on Oculus VR stuff, including avatar customization. Basically, he was making big moves at one of the biggest tech giants out there. Then he jumped into growth and retention for Oculus, proving he’s not just about creating cool tech but also about making users love and stick with the products.

And get this, he’s not just a coder. Conder went to Columbia, graduated in ’19 with a comp sci degree, and was involved in their Data Science Institute. While there, he didn’t just chill, he co-founded a startup that actually made it to the finals of Columbia’s Venture Competition and even got a $15K grant from Columbia Business School. That’s some real entrepreneurial hustle right there.

Fast forward, he’s now the founder and CTO of Brevy, a B2B software company. This isn’t just some side project, Brevy participated in YC’s Winter ’21 batch, and they’re making big moves with AI-powered customer onboarding, product debugging tools, content marketing, and AI-driven support agents. Basically, he’s taken all that experience from Facebook, his research, and his startup hustle, and turned it into a company that’s changing how businesses handle customer stuff.

What does this all say about him? Conder’s a guy who’s always been all about pushing tech forward, but he’s also super motivated to build things that actually make a difference. His process is about jumping into big problems, from Facebook to startups, from university to VC-funded companies, and never shying away from the hard work. He’s the real deal, someone who sees the big picture and executes like a madman.

In short, this dude’s story is about relentless hustle, smart tech, and turning ideas into reality. He’s not just riding the wave, he’s creating it. And honestly, he’s just getting started.
