August 18, 2025 • Erik Libby • Episode 51

Originally from Dubai and raised in Phoenix, Shaun studied Economics & History at Vanderbilt University.

While at Vanderbilt, and after leading United Nations linked projects like Imagine Land 2040, he co-founded Atlog, an AI voice agent for physical retail (starting with furniture) that handles customer service and collections calls.

In 2025, Atlog was accepted into Y Combinator’s first spring (“X25”) cohort; the team graduated right as Shaun was completing his degree at Vanderbilt.

Shaun is on a mission to bring helpful AI into real-world commerce and make technology serve outdated industries.

Shaun is only 22 years old.
