About Steve

Hey—

I’m Steve Corona. I failed out of college when I was 19 and learned a few lessons along the way. I went from sleeping on the floor of my apartment to being the CTO of Twitpic, a 50 million user startup.

My blog has been featured on the New York Times, LifeHacker, Fast Company and a bunch of other important sounding news sites.
