*Conceptual Thinking & Idea Oriented Situations in Technology, Art & Culture

My name is Andrew McClintock, and I build products and experiences that move between culture and technology at the intersection of the intersection.

I’m currently Head of Product & GTM at TURBOFUND, an early-stage CRM + enriched data startup.

I also do Fractional Product & Operations consulting for startups and cultural projects.

At my last startup, ON APPROVAL, where I was Co-Founder & CEO, I raised $4 million in seed funding, scaled ARR to $1.5 million, and built a luxury-commerce marketplace with $60 million in curated art and design listings.

I led six-figure enterprise partnerships with brands like Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Restoration Hardware, and Vista Equity Partners.

For fun, I’m currently researching the impact of art&culture in LLM training and how this can prevent slop and brain rot. And shipping experiments with AI native products through projects like VIBE CHECK, MESSY OS and UNSOLICITED MEME-MAIL, exploring how creativity and data shape the tools we will use next.

I started my first business, a contemporary art gallery called EVER GOLD [PROJECTS], in a 300 sq ft storefront in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district and grew it into 3,000 sq ft of exhibition space and a globally recognized gallery covered by The New York Times, Artforum, Forbes, Architectural Digest, and Hypebeast. At Ever Gold I produced 300+ exhibitions and public programs.

I founded my second business, SFAQ PUBLICATIONS - A MEDIA COMPANY, as Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, expanding it from a 5K-copy print run to 50K copies per issue distributed across 800 international locations, with multiple titles including New York Art Quarterly, Los Angeles Art Quarterly, and Mexico City Art Quarterly.

I was the youngest Director of Exhibitions and Public Programs at the San Francisco Art Institute’s Walter and McBean Galleries, curating shows such as the first West Coast survey on Gutai.

I earned a full Presidential Scholarship from SFAI to get a master’s in Museum & Exhibition Studies, writing a 100-page thesis on sympathetic magic and myth-making — pre-AI.

The reward for good work is more work.
