About Andrew Hyde

Andrew Hyde has a passion for community and startups. He has founded three startups (one failed, one sold and his current project is doing quite well). With roots in freelancing and design, he can hold a conversation about best interface practices as well as how to build cabins with hand tools. True story. He is also a marathoner, Ironman competitor, blogger and event organizer. He runs Ignite Boulder, TEDxBoulder, a food/tech/music conference boco and once spent a flight making a stupid tshirt site that every VC in the world has seen. Financially independent since 16, he has proven what you can do with hard work, bootstrapping mentality and helping out as many people as you can.

Now some notes in not creepy third person:

I love startups. I love making things people use. I love design. I love that things I have created are spreading across the world.

I work for TechStars, which is certainty the premiere venue for starting a startup. Though this and the brilliant Boulder tech community, my world view is incredibly skewed. All of my friends and colleagues love what they do, work on engaging projects and lead very interesting lives. I am grateful for this.

If I had a bio in a newspaper, it might read:

Andrew Hyde is a speaker, bootstrapper, designer, user interface builder, user experience creator, thought leader buzzword originator, blogger, politico, biker, runner, backpacker and nice guy.

I really wish WordPress (which I love) pages like this could be a wiki, so that you can just edit this. In lieu of that, just email me: andrew@endoze.com and I will change this up based on your recommendations.

Andrew Hyde grew up in Sisters, Oregon, went to school in Providence, Rhode Island and split the difference to live now in Boulder, Colorado.
