Summary
Antonio Scapellato is a founder and product leader with 8 years of hands-on experience turning playful technical curiosity into products with real scale. He built his first games at 13 and has since led consumer-facing AI and mobile products that reached millions of users, including a 1M+ user anime-chat app and a 3M+ download product backed by a16z. Comfortable moving between data, product, and engineering, he has roles spanning data science, technical product management, and founding CEO/CPO responsibilities. Selected as an Antler Entrepreneur in Residence from a highly competitive pool, he pairs startup grit with structured product thinking honed at Oculus and Sky. Based in San Francisco and trained at Politecnico di Milano, he brings a gamer’s strategic mindset—often likening product challenges to board-game puzzles—and a personal mission to leave the world better than he found it.
