Devan Sood is the Co-Founder of Orca, a membership-based network of furnished month-to-month accommodations in dream destinations around the world. As working a 9-5 increasingly no longer requires a long commute to a 5’ x 5’ cubicle, Orca is designed for digital nomads who travel freely and work remotely around the globe. A digital nomad himself, Sood is currently traveling the world helping inspire others to ditch their 12-month lease and live in a myriad of their dream destinations, without breaking the bank. Sood grew up in Los Angeles and jumped into his first venture at the ripe age of 14 when he started Unlimited Ltd. Clothing. Within less than 3 years, Unlimited Ltd. was being sold in multiple countries, endorsed by top celebrities, and working with charities across the globe. I had a chance to meet Sood when he was at Babson College where he was racing to graduate early and build more startups. He graduated in less than 3 years and moved back to LA to launch a marketing consulting firm specializing in creative growth strategies to market to Millennials and Generation Z. That venture evolved into 96-LA, Sood’s growth agency focused on helping early-stage consumer-facing tech startups with product-led growth and acquisition experimentation. With 96-LA still growing, Sood is leveraging his consulting skills to fuel the growth of Orca, while he travels the world living the experiences he is pitching to fellow digital nomads. We talk about all of this, Sood’s advocating for “teen-preneurship” and much more.
