Hi, I'm Tom Langridge
The builder, the father, the thinker. Cofounder of Fast.io and MediaFire.com and helping 100M+ people share their work every month.
About Me
I'm Tom Langridge, a serial entrepreneur with a unique journey from neuroscience to tech. After studying Neurology, Physiology, and Behavior at UC Davis, I co-founded MediaFire.com in 2006, growing it into one of the world's top file-sharing platforms. Along the way, I launched IntoMobile, led design for FileFront.com (acquired), and most recently co-founded Fast.io, reimagining cloud storage for teams.
Based in Austin, Texas, I'm passionate about building products that solve real problems. My approach combines scientific thinking with user-centered design to create experiences that help millions share their work. I believe in building in public and sharing both successes and failures along the way.
