Join us in an insightful interview with Lucy Guo, the founder of pass.com, at the Tech Beach Retreat 2022 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Lucy shares her remarkable journey in the tech industry, spanning various ventures including scale AI, Backend Capital, HF Zero, and her latest project, pass.com.

Lucy's lifelong passion for tech is evident in her impressive career. She co-founded scale AI, which revolutionized machine learning applications in areas such as self-driving cars and drones. She also leads a venture fund, Backend Capital, and incubates companies through the unique 'hacker house' concept of HF Zero.

Her latest venture, pass.com, is a web3 creator platform similar to Patreon but with a distinctive approach. It's designed to enable creators to own and monetize their relationships with fans, fostering deeper one-to-one connections. Remarkably, within just three weeks of its launch, pass.com had already shown substantial promise, with Lucy securing a full funding round for the project within 48 hours of presenting the idea.

Lucy's entrepreneurial spirit was ignited at a young age, starting with coding in second grade and creating bots for Neopets. Her journey was not without hurdles; she faced significant opposition from her parents when dropping out of college for a Thiel Fellowship. Despite these challenges, Lucy persevered and eventually reconciled with her family, who now take pride in her accomplishments.

In the interview, Lucy reflects on the lessons learned from startup failures, underscoring the value of pursuing projects that genuinely interest her and the importance of rewarding team performance.

For aspiring young entrepreneurs, Lucy advises focusing on developing technical skills in design or engineering, mastering sales abilities as a founder, and embracing risks, highlighting that the perceived risk is often smaller than it appears.

Lucy Guo's story is a testament to early entrepreneurship, resilience against familial opposition, and learning from failures, all contributing to her success in the tech industry. Her efforts in creating platforms like pass.com demonstrate her dedication to innovation and supporting the burgeoning creator economy.
