For the 27th episode of One the Come Up, I was fortunate to share the time with Mr Matthew Rastovac. The former CEO of Respell (now acquired by Salesforce), his career began at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Here, Mr Rastovac was co-president of Founders, the university’s entrepreneurship club, where he doubled the group’s budget and grew from 5 to 60 members. During this time, he also landed internships at NASA and Facebook. One semester shy of completing his four years, he landed a job at Cameo (who can turn down a startup soon-to-be Unicorn?) where he designed and implemented core components of Cameo's infrastructure. However, realizing he had more potential as an entrepreneur and founder, he moved to the Bay Area and joined Atmos, a dream home builder. After going through Y Combinator, starting a founders dorm room in San Fran., and building 30-50 homes, he was officially bitten by the startup bug. And so came about Respell, a no-code AI agent builder. Where the future will be for Mr Matthew Rastovac, I do not know. But as The Chords once said, Life could be a sojourn ;)
