About

The Short Version

I'm Edward Chun — a founder, angel investor, and builder who can't stop starting things. Born and raised in South Korea, currently building and studying in Chicago. I run two AI companies, invest in what excites me, and write about ideas most people disagree with.

What I'm Building

I founded two companies to this date. With Dreampaint I leveraged my expertise of AI image model training and fine-tuning to serve enterprise clients. I'm now building Cramwell, a hypercontextual college-focused LLM that delivers any and all information that can be helpful to college students.
