CEO at Progress & Prosperity, Inc.
United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Foss is a founder-led CEO and engineer with 11 years of experience building ambitious, system-level products—from self-driving car perception at Cruise and brain-inspired game-learning at MIT to decentralized social protocols on IPFS and a creator-focused Metaverse at Gather. He co-founded Gather, helping scale it to a multi-hundred-million valuation and a mature engineering organization, and later built Gravity, a peer-to-peer, metadata-resistant social network using libp2p/IPFS and custom public-key cryptography. Comfortable toggling between low-level implementations (backend game engines, radar tracking) and high-level strategy, Nathan combines rigorous MIT training in CS and math with hands-on product instincts and political-operational experience from civic work in San Francisco. He now leads Progress & Prosperity to accelerate critical industries via an industrial park initiative, blending technical depth, product-led scaling experience, and a taste for big, non-obvious systems problems.
