$5M from selling electronics kits at 25 y/o - Austin Eckman, Founder at inventr.io

Austin tells me about growing up in a small farm town, Pickney MI, learning to code at 12yo, dropping out of college at 19, getting kicked out by his parents, and staying on a friends’ couch and founding Inventr.io which now 4.5yrs later makes 5M+ in annual recurring revenues. Austin describes what he loves about “making” things, how he’s teaching kids and adults to code and build with his company’s products, and how as a young founder of 25 yo he thinks about success and designing his life.
