My name is Do Tromp, founder of Davis Coworking, and creator of the iOS app Start a Business. With a PhD in Neuroscience, I specialize in bridging technology, research, and entrepreneurship.

I’m currently available for contracting work.

I live in Davis, CA, where I enjoy the balance of work and personal time through woodworking, gardening, and biking. These hobbies allow me to embrace creativity and nature, inspiring my work life.

After graduating with a major in Science and Innovation Management & Psychology, I delved into the world of neuroscience, earning a PhD and exploring mental health through innovative technologies. Over time, I also became fascinated with the application of technology in business and entrepreneurship, leading me to create Davis Coworking, Start a Business app, and now I am using AI to create customer growth.
