Andrew Yang’s career bridges entrepreneurship, public policy, and social innovation. Before entering politics, he founded Venture for America, a nonprofit that helped hundreds of startups in emerging U.S. cities. His 2020 presidential campaign spotlighted automation, universal basic income, and “human-centered capitalism,” ideas that reframed how technology should serve society.

Yang has become one of the most outspoken critics of the sports-gambling boom, warning that its predatory marketing and frictionless mobile access are “destroying the lives of millions of young men.” In op-eds for Newsweek and elsewhere, he has cited data linking legalized sports betting to spikes in bankruptcy, depression, and domestic stress — arguing that betting apps have weaponized behavioral psychology in the same way social media exploits attention.

For SportsPredict.com, Yang’s insights shape a different vision: a skill-based, socially positive platform where prediction is used to measure and develop intelligence, not drain wallets. His policy experience and futurist lens help SP.com build responsibly — balancing innovation with ethical design, transparency, and civic credibility. In an age when most prediction platforms chase profit, Yang ensures that SP.com also chases purpose.
