Prince Boucher

I'm a creative, organizer, and computer-person living in San Francisco. I've been a startup junkie at seed to Series C startups. I've always been a first hire to launch marketing & gtm. Recently, I created the Forward Deployed Creatives function at Luma. I spend the rest of my time on work that doesn't scale.

I organize Mission Athletic Club, a free community tennis club that runs on San Francisco's public luxury tennis courts. We have almost 4,000 members and 150+ free events per year. I wrote about why it stays free in Tennis for the People.

I've written an unpublished novel, Master of Disaster, about an entrepreneur-turned-organizer, the general intelligence built to contain him, and the love caught between them.

I've taught User Experience & Design Thinking at La Salle, organize for progressive movements in California, and advise startups in climate, logistics, fashion, AR, and AI.

I've spent most of my adult life moving between technology, entertainment, sports, and civics. Less out of strategy, more out of curiosity and a feeling that the world might still be shaped, in small ways, by the experience we choose to pursue. Along the way I've contributed to projects at Amazon Web Services, Interscope, Funny or Die, and United States Digital Response, though what's mattered more has usually been the people in the room and the questions we asked.

I've found community in unlikely places: Mission Athletic Club, Global Shapers, Climate Reality, FWB, FORM, FedTech, South Park Commons. None of these were just networks to me. They were experiments in belonging, and they taught me that culture is not something you build alone.

The tennis work has been covered by Wired, The San Francisco Standard, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Mission Local.
