Sam Slover

Sam Slover is a graduate student at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where he works on technology projects at the intersection of data, design, and learning. He is the co-founder of Learn It Live, an online learning website that connects groups to experts that are not accessible locally. He is also an inaugural member of the Dorm Room Fund, where he makes investments in NYC student-run companies. He’s most passionate about creating new technologies and media that allow people to better learn about themselves and the world they live in, and hopefully make better decisions because of it. Previously, he worked on social entrepreneur initiatives with communities in Honduras and India, and launched a seed capital program at a micro-finance firm in Bolivia.

Sam loves philosophy, soulful music, clean design, basketball, traveling, writing, skiing, art, cooking, and other things too. He has mixed feelings toward modernity, but that’s a long story.
