Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Rad is a futurist, entrepreneur, and four-time deep-tech founder who blends anthropology, linguistics, and hands-on product strategy to design narrative-driven technologies and media. Based in New York, she has built and led companies across AI, blockchain, and IoT—co-founding Chronicled and NYOUM—and holds patents tying physical and digital systems together. A compelling keynote speaker and storyteller, she teaches and briefs executives globally, frames emerging risks like cognitive security and simulated realities, and calls herself an “archaeologist of the future.” Her work spans meta-media productions (RADOC) and investigative storytelling (Illicit Shadows), and she’s a two-time best-selling author who translates speculative research into pragmatic products and policy. Uniquely, she early-adopted virtual worlds and experimented with identity via projects like SamRad.AI, signaling a long-standing practice of turning cultural ethnography into technical innovation.
