Austin Valleskey is the co-founder of Bonfire, a new social app to chat about your interests. Where many other apps highlight follower and like counts, Bonfire does not. In fact, Bonfire doesn’t even show follower or like counts inside the app. Instead, you share with others inside the same “Camps” or topics.

Prior to co-founding Bonfire, Austin worked on Cash App and Gifs.com. He also created Impossible Rush, an iPhone game with 1,000,000+ downloads.

This is Austin’s temporary quarantine setup while he spends time back home with family. His typical “office” is actually various coffee shops around New York City.
