In a Carmel, Indiana high school bathroom, 17-year-old Eric Zhu birthed Aviato, an analytical platform for private market data. Armed with a green screen and boundless ambition, Zhu took investor calls between classes, eventually landing $2.3 million in funding. Aviato, named after HBO's "Silicon Valley" show, aims to outdo competitors like Crunchbase by offering deeper insights into funding rounds, headcounts, and unique data points like credit card revenue and employee vesting schedules. Zhu's journey began in pandemic-era Discord chats with tech elites at 13. He sold his first startup, Esocial, at 14, then joined Bachmanity Capital, sparking the idea for Aviato. Despite expulsion for his bathroom business meetings, Zhu persevered, securing clients like NEA and 8VC. His platform addresses the gap in analytical capabilities he noticed in existing data services. From school bathroom to Silicon Valley disruptor, Zhu's story proves innovation can flourish anywhere 😂🤌🏽
