Noah Edelman.

I grew up in New York City. I love the grit and ambition, it's in my blood, but the city leaves so little room for spirituality and presence. The way I put it: NYC has so much heart but so little soul. I live in Chicago now, I'm moving to San Francisco this summer, and I'll probably end up back in New York one day.

I played competitive tennis growing up and eventually burned out on it. But all those hours alone on a court, in my own head, turned into something better than a forehand: a habit of paying attention to my own internal world. At 15 that pointed me in two directions at once: I started meditating, and I tried to start my first business, a tennis match forecasting website. The meditation stuck. The business didn't, and neither did the few that followed.

Then in 2022 I saw that AI was going to reshape everything, so I co-founded The Neuron, skipping class at Northwestern to build it, to help people keep up. We were viewed 100M+ times, then I sold it to a larger media company.

With no clue what I wanted next, I left for six months of travel. My gap year of exploration couldn't have been more cliché, and it couldn't have been more fortunate: I sat meditation retreats, got my yoga teacher training, and used some plant medicine to explore the hidden parts of my consciousness. I learned a lot about myself, too much sometimes, and I'm still integrating all of it into what comes next. I don't know what that'll be yet, but something at the intersection of consciousness, wellness, and community.
