Andrew Bosworth
About Andrew Bosworth
Andrew "Boz" Bosworth is Chief Technology Officer of Meta Platforms and head of its Reality Labs division. He has been CTO since 2022, succeeding Mike Schroepfer. He studied at Harvard and began his career at Microsoft as a developer on Visio.
He joined Facebook in 2006 as one of its first engineers and helped build the original News Feed. He later led work on Groups, Messenger and video calling, and in 2012 led the company's shift from desktop to mobile advertising. He created Reality Labs, Meta's AR/VR organization, in 2017.
Bosworth's angel activity is small in public records. Crunchbase lists two personal investments, both seed rounds: Noetive and ArtCorgi. Round dates and his check sizes are not disclosed there.
His Wellfound profile also lists him as an advisor to Spindle (marked as an exit), ArtCorgi, Notarize and Biff Labs. It lists "FB Angels" among his affiliations. These are advisory roles, and the sources do not say whether they came with an investment.
Noetive is the AI round tied to Bosworth on the Lounge deals desk: a $41M seed in September 2026. Press coverage says the round was led by Eclipse, with participation from Craft Ventures, The Westly Group, Swish Ventures, Factory, Incite Ventures, Gigascale Capital, Operator Partners, Liquid 2 Ventures and angel investors. The announcements we found do not name Bosworth individually. His participation comes from Crunchbase.
Noetive is based in San Francisco. It describes itself as an AI NeoLab for operational technology. It is building an AI "intelligence of record" for physical businesses in manufacturing, logistics, energy and data centers, paired with its own sensing hardware.
Bosworth has not published an investment thesis, a check size or a fund size that we could verify. Public records show seed-stage participation. The two listed companies are an AI company for physical operations and an art-related startup, so there is no single sector pattern.
His day job is running Meta's AR/VR and wearables organization, and he is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. Treat him as an occasional angel rather than an investor with a stated mandate. Pitches are most likely to land through a warm introduction.
