Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Andrew Thompson, Founder & CEO
The embodiment of the “serial entrepreneur”, Andrew Thompson takes on this title with stride. Coupled with his background in programming, Andrew created the first Myspace profile editor ever in 2005, MySpaceSupport.com, receiving over 1 million visitors per day, with a successful acquisition in 2007 for 2.5 million. From 2011 to 2014, Andrew switched things up a bit, transferring his focus onto Blockchain technology. He developed a handful of “mini-projects” surrounding Blockchain and Bitcoin, investing about $10,000 into Bitcoin back in 2011. The year 2016 called for the next entrepreneurial venture. Andrew took on the role as the CTO of Evolve Fitness from 2016 to 2019 in which he helped raise 1.3 million for the company while managing an eight-person team. Evolve Fitness peaked at about 8,000 paying subscribers with an MRR of ~$120k and 200,000 free accounts with the company being featured on Apple’s first-ever TV Show ‘Planet of the Apps,’ where Jessica Alba mentored the team through the entire 3-month process on the TV Show. And then came Gypsee. Due to his extensive experience in founding, running, and marketing successful businesses, Andrew decided it was finally the time to see out his passion project. He has been working full-time on Gypsee since March 2020.
