Today our guest is Nick Linck. Fueled by a profound passion for entrepreneurship as a catalyst for positive societal change, Nick pursued a degree in computer science from the University of Michigan, equipping him with the necessary skills to establish a technology-driven company. As a dedicated entrepreneur, Nick is currently focused on revolutionizing higher education, striving to create a better future for all.

Short overview

Nick shares how his passion for entrepreneurship and machine learning began during his university studies and eventually led to a successful career at IBM. Despite working on startups on the side and frequently joining founders’ clubs, it wasn’t until a year and a half ago that he decided to quit his job and focus full-time on his current project, The Residency.

Nick explains that the company was originally called Venture Years, then RYVIN (ryvin.xyz), before eventually rebranding to The Residency. We discuss the reasoning behind the name change and the main idea behind The Residency, including the services offered and the goals they pursue.
