Wildfire careers
Wildfire was acquired by Opendoor in 2021. Built a social news app for colleges. Sent 65 million alerts to nearly 1 million users over 6 years. Ranked Top 5 in the “News Category” right below Twitter, Reddit, and Nextdoor and above CNN and the New York Times. Selected for Forbes 30 under 30 in 2020.
Raised $3.1m from Accel, Khosla, Y Combinator (S17), Greylock, Redpoint, The House Fund, Kindred Ventures, Abstract, and Paul Buchheit.
Started Wildfire during my senior year at UC Berkeley with the mission of helping keep communities safer and more informed with real-time safety alerts. Wildfire quickly grew beyond a campus safety tool to a social news app, which empowered people to spread the word quickly to their community when something significant happened nearby.
