Meet the Founders

Andy Su

Co-Founder & CEO

Hi! My name is Andy Su, a junior at Miramonte High School and the Co-Founder of Communities Ascend. Ever since I was young, I’ve always believed in business for good, fostered through the amazing opportunities I was given. I want Communities Ascend to be a platform for high schoolers to find what excites them, and give them the experiences and skills they need to succeed. Beyond that, I know that the ideas and inputs high schoolers can bring will have an extremely positive impact on the small businesses in their own communities. I’m excited to work with you guys!

Dylan Po

Co-Founder & CTO

Hi! I’m Dylan Po, the co-founder of Communities Ascend. I’m a junior at Los Altos High School and I’m passionate about computer science and math. As a high school student without many industry connections, I’ve struggled to find internships to further my academic and career goals. I believe internships provide students with vital career skills and experience that aren’t necessarily taught in school but are essential to college and beyond. I want to help other students find connections and opportunities in the workforce and pair them up with local businesses seeking help.
