Noah Berkson

Hi, I'm Noah Berkson. I'm a serial entrepreneur who has co-founded 8 and sold 4 businesses by the age of 32. I also run a single family office focused in financial technology.

Companies

A lot of people know me as the Founder of DevBase, a company that staffed hundreds of software engineers to tech companies in the US along with Candor Ventures, a venture fund and studio. My partner Peter and I sold both in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

I also co-founded Commonground which became the leading farmland leasing marketplace and was acquired in early 2026. I currently lead Austin Capital, a single family office which operates, incubates and invests in fintech and financial service companies.

Why AI Makes Human Skills More Valuable, Not Less

Teaching found me late.

After helping teach a course at Stanford University on human relationships in the age of AI, I was inspired to launch Irreplaceable, an education platform that equips students and professionals with the human skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven world.

These days I help lead a course at Stanford and speak around the world on one question: what does it take to become Irreplaceable in the age of AI?

Why AI Makes Human Skills More Valuable, Not Less

My favorite thing in the world is bringing people together.
