BU Alumni Shine in Forbes 2023 “30 Under 30” List
Boston University stars in music, manufacturing and space
| The following is an excerpt from a Bostonia article by Molly Callahan. |
Atri Raychowdhury (ENG’15) was recognized. He’s a founding member of Sony Music’s data strategy group and helped the company launch analytics tools for executives and artists. Raychowdhury also conceived and now coleads Sony Music’s STEM Leadership Program, introducing underserved New York City teenagers to science, technology, engineering, and math career paths in music.
Austin Briggs and Justin Fiaschetti, who both studied engineering at BU, also made the list. Their company, Inversion Space, aims to “turn space into the next frontier for express deliveries” by building Earth-orbiting capsules that would deliver goods anywhere in the world, according to the New York Times.
This year, Forbes writers and editors combed through more than 12,000 candidates, narrowing the list to those who gained the most funding or revenue and those who showed the most social impact, inventiveness, and potential. “The 600 who made the cut are both an inspiration and a challenge to the conventional wisdom,” writes Kristin Stoller, deputy editor of the “30 Under 30” list. “Either way, they provide plenty of reason to believe that tomorrow will be brighter than today.”
