I'm Alex Kruchten
Building a technology business of my own while finishing my degree in Milan.
Who I Am
Captain first, entrepreneur now.
I grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where athletics were my life: three varsity sports, multiple all-region selections, and a captain's armband.
That proving ground built the character that has carried me into my next chapter: a global education paired with the upper reaches of the business world. I self-funded three degrees across three continents, reached the finals of multiple international case competitions, and worked full time through nearly all of it.
I helped launch Hemut, a YC-backed startup, and as CGO grew revenue from zero to six figures. I paired that with time at Northrop Grumman, Bain & Company, and General Legal, where I got an inside view on how elite organizations operate.
Now I'm marrying my passions: business, technology, and exploration. I'm deep in the world of AI, building a technology business of my own while finishing my degree, living and exploring internationally along the way.
What I Do
The three tracks I'm running, all at full speed.
What I Stand For
Four words I define my life by, and hold myself accountable to.
Reality is a byproduct of our experiences filtered through our perspective. When your perspective is deeply rooted in positivity, joy, and optimism, your life, and the lives of those around you, benefit endlessly.
Dare to dream, even when others say you shouldn't. Your life is what you make it, and the only thing between success and failure is a refusal to stop chasing your wildest goals.
Be confident in being your authentic self and encourage others to do the same. When you listen deeply to what others have to say and are candid in every interaction, you make the world a kinder place.
Some of us are born luckier than others; I believe I was extraordinarily lucky. Chase immense personal success, and then use that success to enable those around you to accomplish their own dreams.
Where I'm Going
Three commitments carry my next chapter.
