Derrick Cai

Hey! I'm Derrick.

I'm currently working on SLAM & Co., a space for people working for themselves.

I've been hustling and starting things all my life. I've resold beanie babies, designed and sold reusable straws, hosted viral basketball tournaments, run a marketing agency, launched a social alarm clock app, gotten hundreds of millions of views on TikTok and Reels, built a meeting notes recorder... the list goes on.

I love design, writing, and playing basketball. I've also been trying to pick up surfing and making coffee.

I occasionally post thoughts and writing here, like my story of running a viral height matched basketball tournament
