Hi, I’m Sterling.
I’m a founding member at two startups based in Austin, TX; LaunchPartner.co and SandBox Commerce. I also recently served as a Google, Code 2040 Entrepreneur in Residence. Prior to going independent I developed mobile and web apps for Walmart, Lockheed Martin and Booz Allen. Speaking at conferences, mentoring underrepresented founders and occasionally contributing to open source projects on GitHub brings me joy! A quote that I live by is: As you climb, Lift!
DM me on Twitter if you think that I may be helpful: @SterlingSmith.
