Seth Lesky is a #software-engineer, #entrepreneur, and the founder of @LaunchPass, a web-based software application designed to help manage a @Slack Community. He is a strong business development professional with a demonstrated history of work in the internet industry. Lesky holds a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the University of Arizona. His technical skillset includes Product Design, Web Application Development, and @Customer Relationship Management (CRM), which he possessed at graduation, and has since expanded to include proficiency in JavaScript, React, and NodeJS. He currently also operates as a #digital-nomad and #community-steward. I first connected with Seth in April 2016 within a community called Psychedelic Chat. Our conversations soon evolved into discussions about the potential and rapid growth of the pay-for-access community model. He became curious about the specific software that @Ghost Influence (community) used for payment processing and member registration. I admitted we were using a less-than-ideal "shitty custom solution" at the time, which, he shared, helped validate his own idea to develop the superior solution that would become LaunchPass. It's a great example of how community can directly inspire and validate entrepreneurial ideas.
