At 18 John Andrew Entwistle took a pass on college to found #Coder in 2015, a cloud development startup that raised $85 million in capital from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and California-based Notable Capital. The company landed Entwistle and his cofounders on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2020.⁣
⁣
But just a year later, Entwistle made an unexpected turn. He left Coder to found Austin-based #Wander, a short-term #luxury rental startup aimed at guaranteeing perfect #vacation experiences using automation. ⁣
⁣
Entwistle secured about $100 million in venture funding from firms such as Redpoint Ventures and QED Investors and four years after its founding, Wander is projected to bring in some $70 million in gross sales this year.⁣
