Colin Devine
I grew up in beautiful northwest Arkansas, under the shadow of gigantic companies like Walmart, JB Hunt, and Tyson Foods. I learned from some of the best entrepreneurial mentors in the world, so finding the right idea for a startup was always on my mind while I earned my BA and MA from the University of Notre Dame and Yale University. While pursuing a Ph.D. at Duke University in political science focused on housing policy, I co-founded BotBuilt with Brent and Barrett.
