Join our host Shane McAllister this week as we dive into the journey of our guests Margarita Geleta & Michael LaFramboise, who began their entrepreneurial adventure by winning first place at MongoDB's inaugural developer hackathon. This victory sparked the creation of "Logit," their early startup centered around a groundbreaking LLM tool for observability data. Margarita & Michael share their insights from conducting numerous customer interviews and engaging with various accelerator programs. Hear about their participation at a second MongoDB hackathon in San Francisco, where they made valuable connections in the DevOps community. Discover how they navigated a pivotal shift, transitioning to a new LLM/RAG tool designed for science and literature review, and how this journey honed their interviewing skills. The episode culminates with their experience at Inception Studio, a high-intensity 4-day non-profit accelerator where they launched "Converge," an innovative AI matchmaker. Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with lessons on perseverance, adaptability, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
