What started as a college dorm project between Avante Price and Eli Taylor-Lemire evolved into something bigger. The two friends coded the first version of Posh sophomore year, creating a platform designed to make event scaling accessible to everyone. They officially launched in October 2020, and by May 2021, confidence in their vision was strong enough that they raised $1.5M in funding—enough to walk away from their degrees and go all-in. That kind of commitment shows they weren't just testing the waters. Since then, the journey has continued, proving that sometimes the best innovations come from a laptop in a dorm room.

Ha, it's another story of starting a business from the dormitory, I'm already bored to death.

What is hammered out in the dormitory can truly shake up the market... These two guys' execution power is worth appreciating.

From the dormitory to raising 1.5M, these two guys are really tough, directly dropping their degrees and going all in.

The dormitory project directly financed 1.5 million, these two guys really said drop out and just dropped out, a bit crazy... but this is the launch posture it should have 🚀

A project that was started on a whim in the dormitory directly raised 1.5 million, then it gapped... these two guys really dare to gamble.

Ngl, these two guys are really ruthless, they went straight from the dorm to pump 1.5M in financing, dropping out to do this... I just wonder why I can only play games in the dorm.

According to the database, from October 2020 to May 2021, the project party took 7 months to increase the financing from 0 to 1.5 million US dollars. The fermentation cycle of this cake is indeed impressive, showcasing the art of time in full.

Looking at the 1.5M funding and deciding to dropout, that's quite a gamble. But looking at it from another angle, the opportunity cost of giving up a degree vs the capital efficiency of the funding amount... well, the data seems to hold up. However, the key factors still depend on the burn rate and runway, which have not been disclosed.
