S9 E27: Neil Patel, Axiom
Description
Neil Patel has always been a hacker - electronics boards, radios, etc. - being interested in how things work, mechanically or digitally. He learned hard work at his Father's convenience store, while also reading every computer magazine on the rack. He is a pharmacologist by study, but landed in tech cause he is passionate about it. Outside of tech, he loves architecture and design. He also loves to read, in particular sci fi, and enjoys eating Gujarati food, which is purely vegetarian food with tons of flavors.
Prior to 2020, Neil and his team was attempting to build tooling around understanding the data around events. After a while, they realized that no matter what was done on top of an event store, you couldn't realize value without storing all events. So they pivoted, and focused on fixing the data store problem first.
This is the creation story of Axiom.
