Mimi St Johns couldn’t wait to drop out of Stanford University.
The 24-year-old computer science and German double major, former Thiel Capital intern and software engineer had the pedigree to land a coveted role in the upper echelons of Corporate America.

She dropped out of school, two quarters shy of a degree, in January and decamped to Miami to go into into stealth mode for her startup, Verbum Labs.
