Budi Voogt

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.
