Erik Fogg
Erik Fogg is a serial entrepreneur and educational innovator dedicated to helping high-potential young people unlock their potential. Erik leads by equipping students with the mindset, structure, and tools to succeed independently, under stress, and at scale. Erik studied mechanical engineering and political science at MIT, system-hacking the registrar to earn both bachelors and masters within his 4-year full scholarship.
Erik has led three venture-backed startups, cofounding two. He brought one to exit, raised $25 million and grew the company to nearly 60 employees. He developed a “founder-factory” where 3 of his team grew to launch their own startups. Erik found that his greatest joy as an executive comes in coaching, and he has brought that love to Futures Forge.
Erik leads the Facilitator team as well as Futures Forge’s research on performance and pedagogy. He draws both from his real-world startup and leadership experience, and also the proven methods from the state of the art, to develop and deploy the curriculum.
