Cole McNally

I’m a technology investor focused on fintech, robotics, and frontier technologies, with a particular interest in the space economy.

I’m also an entrepreneur and former non-technical founder. I’ve since leveraged AI to teach myself to program and build on my own, and this fall I’m beginning my Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania to formalize that foundation.

Right now I’m building Soratour to make self-guided museum and gallery experiences more engaging, and training for my second Ironman.
