Gabriel
Lopez

CTO

Wassup, I'm Gab! I've dedicated my life towards building startups that help others do more and be more -- and now, I'm doing that in the space I love the most: games. I'm currently the co-founder leading tech efforts at Clout Kitchen, where we unlock scale for the world's biggest gaming creators through fan-first digital experiences that leverage emerging technology like generative AI. In my life growing up in the Philippines, I noticed just how broken the healthcare system was. This led to me dropping out of college to start my first startup MedHyve, which resulted in me and my team becoming the first venture-backed Gen Z founders in the Philippines. After selling it in 2023, I took on a new challenge of operating in a later-stage company and moved to the US to help G2 Crowd explore AI initiative. While it was fun, working there made me realize there's nothing else I'd rather do than be a founder -- and so we're back to where we all began. Outside of my work, I'm passionate about video games, racing and hiking. Always happy to talk about startups, help young professionals navigate the tech industry and just sharing ideas with new people -- so please reach out to me at gabriel@cloutkitchen.net!
