Ash Lahore On Entrepreneurship And Community Building

Bullied almost every day as a shy, small-built expat kid in London, Ash quickly realized that survival wasn’t about being the loudest in the room, it was about finding your people. The lack of connection in those early years made one thing painfully clear: community isn’t a luxury, it’s oxygen.
Ash powered through adversity, earning degrees from MIT and Oxford, not just collecting certificates, but building a mind sharpened by code and a heart tuned to human behavior. He went on to lead major tech projects for the BBC, HMRC, and the UK Government, impacting millions of lives — but something was missing.
That "something" became Odd Circles, his bold answer to a quiet crisis: coaches, mentors, and solo experts stuck in isolation, overbooked and underpaid, struggling to grow in a world demanding scale. With Odd Circles, Ash built more than a SaaS platform — he built a movement, helping coaches turn one-way content into two-way conversations, followers into paying members, and burnout into belonging.
Today, thousands of creators and experts use Odd Circles to build communities that 3x their income, but more importantly, they build circles where no one feels like the odd one out. Key Moments
