Andrew Skotzko

Impact technologist & entrepreneur

Hello, world! I'm Andrew.

I build products that matter.

I live at the intersection of technology and the world's biggest problems.
I work out what's going on, what's next, and where the gap is. Then I build.

Me in 10 seconds

  • I'm an impact-driven entrepreneur & full-stack software engineer.
  • I work with tech companies, businesses, and innovators. I'm most interested in for-profit, impact-driven businesses and how technology can solve real-world problems at scale.
  • I live in Los Angeles, CA.
  • I'm a food nerd. I'll geek out on protein denaturation and cooking techniques anytime, anywhere.
  • My favorite parable is 'Eat Me If You Wish.'

What I'm doing now

I have the great privilege of being one of 80 fellows selected from around the world to participate in the Global Solutions Program (GSP) at Singularity University (SU), at NASA Ames in Mountain View, CA. It's intense. Basically, we're spending the summer studying and working to create solutions that can positively impact the lives of 1 billion+ people over the next 10 years using exponential technology.

I'm sharing the GSP journey as well, so follow along! Longer video updates are on the Facebook group and cool moment-to-moment happenings are on Snapchat (username - skotzko).

When I have a few minutes, I'm reading 'The Mind Illuminated,' and 'Future Crimes.'

If my activities or priorities change, I’ll update this. Last update was 20 June 2016.

Products That Matter Newsletter

I send out an email newsletter every Sunday. It covers everything interesting I've seen in exponential technology, social/impact entrepreneurship, and building products that matter. Along with my view on what it all means, there's a digest of my blog posts. It's my notebook for the week.

Addresses are stored properly (using Mailchimp) and will only be used for this list.

What do I believe?

I believe that people are tired of being asked to do the minimum. I believe we're all yearning to measure the full distance of our potential in service of something important.

I imagine a world where each person gets up in the morning and can go out and make their unique contribution to the world, rather than surviving it. I believe we have what it takes to create this world of abundance.

In everything I do, I work to realize what's possible so people realize what's possible for them.
