Heya! I'm Budi.
Over the past decade I've scaled businesses in the music industry, as an artist manager (of San Holo, among others) and CEO of labels Heroic and bitbird. I also founded music industry job board MusicCareers and educational platform Heroic Academy. I exited these to pursue new goals.
I'm now learning to code so that I can be a more technical founder in the future. And I run Striking Markets, an investment syndicate that invests and partners with innovative early-stage technology companies.

Embracing change
