Angelo Lopez

Angelo Lopez studies Management and Entrepreneurship at Santa Clara University and brings experience in communications, brand building, and community events. His background includes news storytelling, product-design programs, and co-producing a music festival. He is interested in ventures that connect creativity with social impact.

For his independent project, Fill the Gap, Angelo initially proposed a community resource event in the Tenderloin. As the project developed, he shifted toward direct service and learning from an established provider rather than duplicating existing work. He completed a dinner-service shift and invited peers to volunteer alongside him.

Angelo’s startup placement was with Kinect, where he joined fellow Futuremaker Kallen Cooyar for an immersion in an early-stage AI company. His summer work also included researching university contacts, supporting outreach, and helping coordinate events.
