Alexis Gay

Alexis Gay is a comedian, podcast host, and type-A New Yorker trying to make sense of the tech industry, where she’s spent the better part of a decade. You might already know that if you follow her on Twitter, where her short-form comedy videos on the topics of work, tech, San Francisco, and more have been seen over 11 million times. On her podcast, “Non-Technical,” she interviews influential folks from tech, media, business, and beyond about everything except their resumes. Alexis asks venture capitalists, founders, operators, and executives questions like, “do you believe in ghosts?” and “who would play you in a movie?” Past guests include Chetan Puttagunta (Benchmark), Sara Mauskopf (Winnie), Joanna Stern (Wall Street Journal), Casey Newton (Platformer), Helena Price Hambrecht (Haus), Scott Belsky (Adobe), and more. Previously, Alexis led the Creator Partnerships and Business Operations teams at Patreon, a platform serving over 6mm users that enables creators to run their own fan memberships. Before that, she held operational and partnerships positions at Twilio and a small startup in NYC you probably haven’t heard of. Alexis holds a B.A. from The Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University and once got a concussion at SoulCycle.
