"Ideas are Cheap, Execution is Expensive": Ali Debow on dropping out of NYU & launching 2.5mil USD tech startup swsh

Welcome to "Fueling Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs: A LaunchX Podcast" where we explore what it means to balance ambition with purpose – because true success isn’t just about the money or the views—it’s about the impact we make and the lives we touch along the way. 

I’m your host Rachel, a fellow gen-z serial entrepreneur. And today we are talking to Ali Debow, a 22-year old NYU drop out, Thiel fellow, and founder of swsh: swsh is an AI powered shared photo album app to help capture your memories and connect you with those you shared them with.

Today we talk about the hustle of building a network from nothing, "delusional" confidence in yourself and your team, pivoting, and what it took to drop out of school and launch her tech app, swsh, in New York.
