Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders

S3 Bonus: Andrew Smith, Outrider


Listen Later

Andrew Smith grew up playing in the woods of northern New England. In 6th grade, he was given a car and drivers magazine and fell in love with Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches - who didn't? In 7th grade, his science teacher told him they got bad fuel economy, so he was inspired to change that. He currently lives in Oregon, though Outrider is based in CO, he is passionate about mountaineering, climbing and skiing, with whom he does with his friends, colleagues and family any chance he can. He has always thought the largest business opportunity and moral obligation is the commercialization of environmental technologies. Taking a look at the 10 billion tons of freight that is shipped annually.. in the US alone... his perspective was solidified. This is the creation story of Outrider.
