Honoring Dan Fredinburg (Google X)

May 11, 2015

Today we feature an interview with Google X’s Dan Fredinburg, who tragically passed away on Mount Everest during the recent earthquake in Nepal. 

Grew up on a farm in Arkansas and left home at 15 to see the world. After earning advanced degrees from UC Irvine, USC, Stanford, and UC Berkeley. He then became a product manager and the head of privacy for Google X. 

As an adventurer he climbed 5  of the 7 highest peaks in the world, all using the same pair of hiking boots. 

He lived a deeply altruistic life as one of the founders of Save the Ice an organization that aimed at improving awareness around climate change. Most recently he founded the Laundry, a co-working space in San Francisco meant to accelerate companies with a social impact. 

Dan was interviewed by Startup Grind’s Jackson Hole Director, Natalie Spencer in February of this year. This interview is a great tribute to the amazing person he was and how much we all have to learn from him.
