Matt Dalio

Matt is a visionary leader with a strong belief in the potential of young minds. He is the founder of Endless, a pioneering initiative dedicated to empowering children and teens to become creators of technology rather than just consumers.

With a mission focused on imparting essential 21st Century skills such as coding, design, digital art, and management, Matt's work centers around three key pillars.

The first pillar, Endless Studios, is a youth game-making studio that harnesses the engaging power of games to impart the skills of Silicon Valley.

The remaining two pillars of Matt's mission address the critical issues of accessibility and equality. He recognizes that device affordability and internet access are significant barriers preventing billions of people from participating fully in the digital age.

In Matt's vision, Endless represents a world where every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, is empowered to shape the future.
