Alex Tew

Career
Alex Tew was raised in Wiltshire, England. He began meditating when he was fourteen and he frequently read books about concentration, memory, and cognition. He attended a business management program at the University of Nottingham before dropping out in December 2005.

After the success of The Million Dollar Homepage in 2005, Tew began several internet ventures including Pixelotto, which sold advertising space on websites. He founded humor-focused social network called PopJam, and a Million Dollar Homepage-inspired website site called One Million People which featured photos instead of advertisements.

In late 2008, he made a Flash game called Sock and Awe, a gamified version of the George W. Bush shoeing incident.

In 2011, while he was the CEO of PopJam, he and developer Ben Dowling created a site called "Do Nothing For 2 Minutes".

Tew moved to San Francisco and in 2012, along with Michael Acton Smith, he co-founded Calm, a company that currently operates a meditation app. He serves as co-CEO.
