  • CEO & Founder at Karma WiFi

    A habit of tackling complex systems and convoluted processes head-on, and boiling them down to their essentials to arrive at a solution. This solution is often a new business. It’s a process that has led Steven to co-found multiple startups—most recently Karma—a mobile provider that lets people take WiFi with them wherever they go. Karma’s mission is simple: to make internet access on every device better than ever before. We talked with Steven about what sparked the idea for Karma, how frustrations fuel some of his best ideas, and the future of wifi access around the world.
