Gary Stewart

Serial entrepreneur and product builder: Gary has repeatedly founded and led companies that sit at the intersection of education, search, and founder enablement — from Nuroa (property search) to The Nest (founder education) to FounderTribes / MyCofoundr.AI (AI-driven founder marketplace). He combines product focus with founder networks to scale platforms that democratize access to capital and learning. mycofoundr+2

Ecosystem builder and operator in corporate accelerators and early-stage investing: He ran Wayra UK (Telefónica's accelerator), oversaw hundreds of startups, and later led Techstars NYC — roles that required deal selection, program curation, and deep networks across investors and corporates. org+2

Advocate for inclusion and diversity in entrepreneurship: Gary writes and speaks frequently about how systemic bias and lack of access constrain founders from underrepresented backgrounds, and he has oriented his projects and accelerator work toward widening access to networks and capital. forbes+2

Educator and advisor to founders and institutions: He serves as a visiting lecturer at Yale Law School (Tsai Leadership Program), has taught entrepreneurship at IE Business School, and sits on boards/advisory bodies focused on impact investing and social enterprise. yale+2
