Leading the AI Revolution for Tech-Forward Founders

Portrait of Dave Hajdu speaking at an event.

Our Founder, Dave Hajdu’s journey to becoming a Tech-Forward Founder began in 1999 as a data analyst at Microsoft.

"It's not an AI problem. It's the data."

Over the years, he has…

  • Automated processes that moved millions of rows of data and managed millions of dollars in transactions for Microsoft.

  • Founded Vinasource, a company that built web, iOS, and Android applications for clients such as the USTA (United States Tennis Association), NCAA Tennis, MTV, and Microsoft.

  • Designed employee engagement programs for Fidelity, Sands Casino, the Boston Red Sox, and thousands of others through his co-founded venture-funded startup, TINYpulse, which was recently acquired by WebMD.

  • In addition, Dave Hajdu founded the Vietnam chapter of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and currently serves as a Southeast Asia Area Director, supporting over 500 businesses that generate between $8 million and $100 million annually.
