Cambridge University Highlights koodos co-founders
Recounting the story behind Apu & Jad
Cambridge's Department of Engineering just published a lovely piece about our co-founders, Jad Esber and Apurva Chitnis, tracing the through-line from a summer spent on the Headstart programme as teenagers to the work we're doing today at Koodos on personalised intelligence.
The two first met as students at Headstart, the residential summer school that introduces young people to engineering before they apply to university. They went on to read Engineering at Cambridge, Jad at Magdalene and Apurva at Emmanuel, and kept comparing notes ever since. Koodos is, in many ways, the continuation of a conversation that started in a Cambridge lecture theatre more than a decade ago.
We are grateful to the Department of Engineering for the feature, and to Headstart for the happy accident of the introduction.
