I'm Ash Barrett.

I want to build leverage to positively affect the long-term future of the world. I believe this is a moral imperitive, and that it is done through leveraging technology and its governance.

I attend UCLA where I study Political Science and Philosophy (4.0 GPA).

I took a hiatus from UCLA during my junior year to work as the Chief of Staff at Build.

• Build believes that egocentric data scaling will solve embodied AI. We open sourced the largest egocentric dataset in the world to advance research.
• Build raised a $5M @ $30M seed round from HF0, Abstract Ventures, Pear VC, Z Fellows, and other great partners.

I am now at Stealth.

I am the president of Sigma Eta Pi, UCLA's Premier Co-Ed Professional Entrepreneurship Fraternity.

• We host YC founders, HF0 residents, ODF fellows, Techstars founders, and KP fellows who have raised a collective $1.2B.

I wrote policy and commentary on digital and technological governance for Dentons. It is currently hard-copied in Antitrust Reviews in the Czech Republic.

I volunteer a lot, mostly with Uplift. I launched a local service for NPOs to streamline volunteer sourcing.

I did sales and debate.
