Vinay Hiremath reflects on purpose after $975 million sale of Loom to Atlassian

Vinay Hiremath, co-founder of Loom, sold the video-sharing platform to Atlassian for $975 million in 2023. Since the sale, he has expressed feelings of aimlessness and has turned down a $60 million job offer. Now 33, Hiremath is studying Physics in Hawaii and plans to start a new company. He has faced personal challenges, including a breakup and unsuccessful ventures in robotics and government reform. Hiremath co-founded Loom in the early 2010s, which grew to serve over 14 million users. He played a key role in raising $200 million in funding and expanding the team significantly before the company's acquisition.
