## In one breath
In the last fourteen months Leo cut a Kérastase film in a Venice hotel room in 48 hours, walked parmesan snacks into the Roblox pantry, and shipped 50+ releases of a Mac app he built alone.

## More
- Built a scoring rubric for startup ideas, tested it on ten companies with known outcomes; it did worse than a coin flip, so he threw it out.
- An accelerator waitlisted and then turned down his team; he asked for the committee's feedback within minutes, got the call the next day, and within weeks its coach was pitching funding for his next company.
- Built his school paper's site: Google clicks went from 100 to 700 in four weeks (fall 2023) while he led a 50+ person paper.
- In high school he sold engraved bottles to school teams.
- Interned at Axel Springer Portfolio Management (Jun to Jul 2024), researching digital business models.
- Has been on both sides of Faire and Airgoods: sold through them as a brand, then built a competitor. Built on Shopify and Stripe for real money flows.
