Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAza Raskin is a technologist and entrepreneur with 17 years of experience who blends rigorous math and physics training with a track record of founding and exiting multiple companies, from early web work at Mozilla to health and music startups acquired by Jawbone and Google. He co-founded the Earth Species Project, applying cutting-edge machine learning to decode non-human communication, and co-founded the Center for Humane Technology to mitigate the harms of persuasive digital systems. Aza helped shape public understanding of tech’s social impact as an architect and subject of the Emmy-winning documentary The Social Dilemma and as co-host of the podcast Your Undivided Attention. His career uniquely combines product-driven UX innovation (Ubiquity/Enso), award-winning media, and high-level policy engagement as a chairing member of the World Economic Forum’s Global AI Council. Less obvious is his continuity of play and physical design—from Bloxes to large-scale installations—which underscores a persistent interest in how tangible artifacts shape human exploration and learning. Based in San Francisco, he channels academic depth and creative design into projects that aim to expand moral imagination and reshape humanity’s relationship with technology and other species.
