Alexis Ohanian, born April 24, 1983, is an entrepreneur and investor in Brooklyn, NY, best known as the co-founder and executive chair of reddit, a platform for online communities to share links and have discussions. While he learned his earliest lessons in leadership and web design from his high school Quake 2 clan and Everquest guild, Alexiscontinued his official studies at the University of Virginia, where he met his future co-founder Steve Huffman during freshman year move-in day. This would lead to the founding of reddit, which he recounted along with many lessons for entrepreneurs, in his national bestseller, Without Their Permission.At UVA, Alexis majored in business and history with a minor in German. Though he had originally planned to become an immigration lawyer, he experienced an epiphany in his junior year (while sitting in a Waffle House) that led him to the realization that he didn't want to practice law. Instead he convinced his best friend Steve to start a company with him.The pair traveled to Cambridge, MA during their senior year spring break to hear Paul Graham give a talk titled "How to Start a Startup." After the lecture, Alexis invited Graham out for a drink so he and Steve could pitch Graham on their business idea. Graham agreed, loved the idea, and suggested they apply to a new seed stage venture firm he'd launched called Y Combinator.
Alexis and Steve's original plan was to build an infrastructure that would allow people to order food from their cell phones. Though the idea was rejected, Alexis and Steve were invited to join the first class of Y Combinator, on the condition that they'd come up with a new concept. The next idea they pitched to Graham would become reddit.com.

They’ve learned a lot and they’re a different company than they were in 2009, and they needed a new brand to represent their vision. Venture51 is now H//NGE Capital. They've backed companies like Ripple, Dollar Shave Club, Bird, Getaround, Classpass, eToroand Life360. H//NGE Capital invests in high technology companies leveraging their new, modern venture platform that supports the most promising founders in high-growth markets. They’re not commodity capital; they’re a platform led by operators, data scientists, designers and engineers, guided by investors, and equipped with patient and flexible capital to make risk-on investments in next-generation vertical technologies.Since the best early-stage companies require more than just capital, their platform utilizes people, data and software, in addition to their capital, to provide a differentiated experience at the seed stage. Their DNA is grounded in technology and product — just like the companies they invest in. They believe that this approach to venture capital is fundamentally different from a traditional seed firm.
