Summary
Josh Clancy is a founder and product-minded technologist with eight years of experience building platforms that blend design, network effects, and information theory to help communities collaboratively learn and solve problems. As CEO and co-founder of MidFlip, he is launching a social wiki that crowdsources curated videos, images, and explanations while experimenting with cooperative and competitive mechanics to drive contribution. His background spans market microstructure analytics, full-stack web development, and teaching—skills that inform a user-centered, data-driven approach to product iteration. Comfortable leading teams and communicating complex ideas (from firefighting to classroom instruction), he pairs academic training in economics, data science and entrepreneurship with hands-on startup grit. An uncommon strength is his focus on applying game theory and psychology to design systems that surface collective intelligence rather than just aggregate content.
