✨ legit?
Strong academic pedigree (Penn State + Toronto) paired with top-tier tech moves (Meta, YC W24) signals serious horsepower. Now founding Magic Hour after Meta DS role = classic breakout trajectory. High-achiever pattern that makes VCs pay attention.
🔥 trendy?
Looking at Runbo's moves - he's that rare authentic force. The hot pot restaurant marketing roots, that 1997 mom-intro storyline with his co-founder, and hitting 200M views without the typical founder flex. Real substance with subtle heat.
😎 cool?
A relentless optimist and natural storyteller, Runbo embodies the quintessential tech founder's resilience. Despite initial coding limitations, his analytical mind and talent for relationship-building turned limitations into strengths. Quick to credit others, persistent through setbacks - a rare mix of humility and ambition.
