MY STORY
Hey, I'm Langston Reid—a 19-year-old student entrepreneur who turned a childhood fascination with fashion, problem-solving, and design into a multi-faceted journey spanning three continents. From launching a student entrepreneurship conference that supports 350+ students across the US and Costa Rica to developing apps alongside NYU, I've found my purpose in building ventures that matter. Along the way, I've presented an MIT-backed sustainability app at the Museum of Science, grown a podcast to 6,000+ listeners, won pitch competitions at Babson College, and networked with industry leaders at global summits—all while serving as my school's first-ever Student Council President. My journey from fashion-obsessed kid (who once received a cease-and-desist from Louis Vuitton at age 13!) to global traveler has taught me that the best entrepreneurship happens at the intersection of creativity, problem-solving, and meaningful impact.
