About Michael Hoydich


As a YC alumni and tech innovator based in El Segundo, I'm passionate about building products that push the boundaries of what's possible with web3, AI, and creative technologies.

Current Focus

I'm currently working on several projects that explore different aspects of technology and creativity:

  • CartographyDAO - A decentralized approach to mapping and spatial data
  • LA Poster Art Chronicles - Documenting and preserving LA's street art culture
  • Home & Gardens - Reimagining digital spaces for modern living

Background

My journey through tech has been shaped by my experience as a Y Combinator alumni, where I learned the importance of building products that truly matter. I'm particularly interested in how decentralized technologies and AI can create new possibilities for creativity and collaboration.

AI & Creativity

I'm actively exploring the intersection of AI and creative expression, particularly through my work with Ideogram. This exploration has led to interesting discoveries about how AI can augment human creativity rather than replace it.

Location & Community

Based in El Segundo, I'm deeply connected to the Los Angeles tech scene while maintaining a global perspective through decentralized projects and remote collaboration.

Get in Touch

I'm always open to interesting conversations and collaborations. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or explore my creative work on Ideogram.
