Biography

Andrew Yang is the co-founder of the Forward Party, a new independent political movement dedicated to restoring the promise of US democracy. A Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, he is the founder of Humanity Forward and Venture for America. His New York Times bestseller The War on Normal People helped introduce the idea of universal basic income into the political mainstream, and his most recent book, Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy, became a national bestseller. He is also co-author of the political thriller The Last Election.

After being a corporate lawyer for five short months, joining a few start-ups, and even launching his own company, Andrew eventually became CEO of an education company that became #1 in the country. He then started a national entrepreneurship non-profit, Venture for America, which worked to empower thousands of young entrepreneurs to bring economic dynamism to cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Birmingham, St. Louis, and others around the country. Leading the organization to become a national multi-million dollar charity, Andrew was named a Presidential Ambassador of Entrepreneurship by the White House under the Obama administration and a Champion of Change for his leadership.

After seeing the devastation that automation and the fourth industrial revolution were doing to the American workforce, Andrew decided to run for President in late 2017. Initially dubbed a "longer than long shot" candidate by The New York Times, Andrew's grassroots support, known as the “Yang Gang,” propelled him to seven Democratic primary debates, outpolling and outlasting six senators, four governors, three members of congress, two mayors, and one secretary. 

With a vision to rewrite the rules of the United States economy through a “Freedom Dividend” of $1,000 a month for every American adult, Andrew’s movement around Universal Basic Income and Cash Relief engaged over 3 million combined social media followers, raised nearly $40 million dollars in an average of $35 increments, and become one of the most exciting stories in the 2020 race., According to CNN, Andrew Yang’s campaign "didn't just make history... [it] unquestionably put a sizable dent in the future as well."

As an activist, Andrew has turned his movement into a political reality, launching a non-profit, Humanity Forward, that has successfully lobbied Congress to bring billions of dollars in cash relief and stimulus checks to millions of Americans in need.

Andrew is the author of three books, including his newest work, Forward, outlining the problems in our broken system and a way forward to prevent the decline of American Democracy. He currently lives in Manhattan with his wife Evelyn and two boys, is an avid basketball fan, a commentator on CNN, and host of a weekly podcast, Forward.

The Human-Centered Economy: Building a Future That Works for Everyonearrow-down

In this thought-provoking conversation, Andrew Yang explores how exponential technologies, including AI, automation, and data, are transforming the economy faster than our systems can adapt. Drawing from his groundbreaking presidential campaign, bestselling books, and policy work with Humanity Forward, Yang makes a compelling case for a reimagined economy that places people at the center —not corporations or algorithms.

Yang outlines the urgent need to rethink traditional economic models, offering bold, actionable solutions like Universal Basic Income, data as a property right, and a modern safety net to support workers in the age of disruption. With his signature blend of optimism, practicality, and empathy, Yang empowers audiences to embrace innovation while ensuring that progress is inclusive, sustainable, and deeply human.

Whether speaking to corporate leaders, technologists, policymakers, or students, Yang’s message resonates as a roadmap for how we can thrive in the future of work.
