I'm Landon Sanford. I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, went to college at Vanderbilt, then did my own startup -> google -> my own startups. I'm going to keep launching startups until one works.

I love hanging with friends, adventures (surfing, kiteboarding, camping, etc), traveling (esp coliving with interesting fun people), deep conversations about philosophy, tech, or one's past, & my dog Bodie.

I'm now working on my third startup that's raised over $1m. Right out of college I started a travel app called Rayka, then I did a startup called Compose AI, and now I'm launching a new one that I'm excited about.

Firstly, because I enjoy them. It feels like fun compared to other work I've done, although there are plenty of ups/downs in the journey. I'd also rather go for it and fail, then not go for it and wonder what-if.

In my startup journey- a lot. Look on spotify or apple podcasts for some of the takeaways I've had, chatting with a few startup podcast hosts about it all. I think I learn new things with each swing on a venture.

I'm semi-nomadic with a home base in Charleston but still enjoying different founders houses. Working on my new startup, trying to get better at kiteboarding, & working on new goals in lieu of my mortality.
