Summary

Hi, I’m Pavlos. I co-founded huntr.com a platform of 16k+ hackers and OSS maintainers tackling the Tragedy of the Commons in open-source security. The problem isn’t "solved" but we made a dent by becoming the #1 publisher of software vulnerabilities in the U.S. National Vulnerability Database (H1 ’22). Now, as part of the founding team at Happenstance, I’m working on 10xing the amount of luck in the world. Old ways from LinkedIn to YC Co-Founder Match to Tinder are broken because intros aren’t warm and most interactions are forced & fake. I’m a humanist and I deeply care about solving real societal issues with design and engineering. huntr+2
