I'm David Xu. Currently, I'm building Athens , an IDE that can teach anyone how to code in 24 hours
We're backed by Neo, Afore Capital, and Dorm Room Fund
Before that, I worked on growth + engineering at Kalshi , a prediction market backed by Sequoia + YC, and was an investor at Magic, an early-stage VC backed by Michael Seibel
I graduated from Duke with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Creative Writing. You can read one of my short storieshere
While I was there, I built Verona Dating, which used AI to send people on blind dates, Verona Tax , a RAG chatbot that helped accountants answer tax questions, and Are We Really Compatible, a new social network for college students
