Schroepfer
Schrep has a 25-year track record in technology and science as an executive, entrepreneur, and investor who's identified major technical disruptions and scaled companies that capitalize on those trends. He founded Gigascale Capital in 2023 to put his time, expertise, and resources behind the next trillion-dollar companies delivering climate impact at scale.
Before Gigascale, Schrep spent 13 years as an operator at Meta, with 9 years as CTO, where he scaled products from tens of millions to billions of users, built tens of millions of square feet of data centers, shipped first-of-a-kind consumer hardware, led the Engineering team from 150 to 35,000, founded the AI Research Lab in 2013, and ran the acquisitions of both Oculus and Instagram. He continues to advise the company on AI as a Senior Fellow.
Beyond Gigascale, Schrep serves on private and nonprofit boards and has previously served on public company boards. His philanthropic work includes founding Additional Ventures, a nonprofit whose mission is to cure single ventricle heart disease through transformative research and strategic investments, as well as the Carbon-to-Sea Initiative and Outlier Projects, which fund research and policy to accelerate climate solutions.
Earlier in his career, Schrep led engineering at Mozilla and founded a Sequoia-backed startup that successfully exited during the dot-com bust via a Sun Microsystems acquisition. Schrep has a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford.
