About Our Challengers
Arun Saigal
Arun Saigal ’13 is an MIT course 6 grad now entrepreneur and business executive. He is the co-founder and CEO of Thunkable, a drag-and-drop platform that aims to make it easier for people to create their own apps. Arun is a Massachusetts native and he’s been focused on supporting MIT as an avid volunteer for over five year and counting.
"MIT and the people affiliated with it have played an incredible role in shaping my life. I discovered my passion for technology and built the foundation for my company (Thunkable) at MIT. I met my cofounder at MIT, and many of my investors came from MIT connections. Even the symphony I now conduct (the San Francisco Civic Symphony) was introduced to me through MIT friends. Given all of this, I am thrilled to give back to MIT to support these formative experiences for future generations of MIT students."
Minh Tue Vo
Minh Tue Vo Thanh ’14 came to MIT as an international student from Vietnam and studied Mathematics and Computer Science. Now he is in the San Francisco Bay Area working as a ML Engineer at MindMeld, an MIT-founded startup (acquired by Cisco System). About his work and career Minh says “I want to make gifts for the world.”
“My family and I believe strongly in the mission of education. At MIT I was a recipient of the Wang Chi Wong (WCW) Asian Nationals Endowed Scholarship Fund for three years. I am grateful for all the love and friendship from the MIT community and I want to help make education accessible for all.”
Peter Nguyen
Peter Nguyen '14 studied Computer Science and Molecular Biology at MIT. The son of Vietnamese immigrants, Peter founded the MIT FGP to support and enhance the first-generation community and MIT at large. He now works as an AI Engineer at DNAnexus, where he pushes the frontiers of AI applications in personalized genomics.
"I am dedicated to giving back to the [MIT] community. I believe that hardworking, smart individuals deserve to have the MIT experience, irrespective of their financial needs. As the recipient of gracious donations in the past, it is only fitting that I keep the circle of giving going, and promote the next generation of students in hopes that they can craft a better MIT and a better world."
