Friday Nooner: Some Fun Facts About Opine CEO Akash Ganapathi

We learned several things about today’s Friday Nooner guest, Akash Ganapathi, the Co-Founder and CEO of Durham-based Opine. (We first profiled the startup in February and they’re in the portfolio of our sister company Primordial.)

  • He met his wife when they were both students at the North Carolina School of Science & Mathematics.
  • He met his two Opine co-founders—Charlie Duong and Austin Kelleher—when they were all early employees at Morrisville-based unicorn JupiterOne.
  • He and the other Opine-rs are the reason there are bottles of Solyent in the downstairs fridge at GrepBeat/Colopy Ventures/Primordial World HQ, which they work out of once or twice a week.

For much more on Akash and Opine—such as what the startup does—you should watch the full episode on LinkedIn here or Facebook here.
