Eric R. Parker, AIA

Cofounder & CEO

Say hello to Eric! He’s our trailblazing CEO with an architect's flair and an entrepreneur's hustle. When he’s not breaking barriers in the startup world or getting nods from Congress and Stanford’s “Make Space,” you might catch him backpacking in the wild or swimming his daily 1/3-mile (rain or shine!). With a trophy case that includes guiding 500+ businesses with makestartups.org, and wrangling $15m in investments, he's the Swiss Army knife of leadership. At Make Startups, he’s crafting entrepreneurial dreams while probably daydreaming about his next wilderness retreat.
