Iddris Sandu, the Architectural Technologist

Iddris Sandu has led and architected tech experiences with many flagship companies like Instagram, Uber, Twitter and Snapchat; constantly working to bring the gap between the digital and real world together.

Sandu recently founded and launched sLABS (Spacial Labs), a tech incubator building tools for the Metaverse. VR Creatives can apply to collaborate with sLABSs on creative projects or sLABS can assist with bringing a digital idea into a reality. The tech incubator partners with Marcy Venture Partners (MVP), which was co-founded by JAY-Z, Jay Brown and Larry Marcus to build game-changing consumer businesses and mass-market brands that resonate with culture across products and services, media and technology.

“Iddris has a conscious world view and a youth centric vision that is innovative and refreshing to witness. We share similar parallels in how we imagine impacting people in our lifetime. Partnering with him on this journey and others is very exciting.”

In a Dell sponsored YouTube interview with NBA Star Kyle Lowry, Iddris Sandu discussed the future of technology and its potential for community-level impact.

Sandu states a huge part of his mission is the democratization of technology, and he wants kids in the hood, in Compton, Boyle heights, in Africa to be able to know they can have one device that could pretty much solve all of their external issues that they might have. The biggest driver for inner city youth is information. If they have the information on how to create systems rather than just consuming them, it puts them at a much higher chance of success.
