About Me
I’m Artur Sousa, a tech entrepreneur passionate about using technology to solve meaningful problems and drive business growth. My journey began in Brazil, where I worked on social impact initiatives, advising the government on children’s rights and leading national projects to combat leprosy. These experiences shaped my belief that innovation can create real, lasting change.

I later moved into the tech space, co-founding Adopets, a platform that revolutionized the pet adoption process across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, facilitating over hundreds of thousands of adoptions around the world. Adopets’ success was built on user-centric technology and solving complex social challenges, a philosophy that continues to guide my work, from 0 to its acquisition in 2022.
Today, I’m the co-founder and CEO of My Orbit, a platform created to tackle the growing global crisis of loneliness. My Orbit helps users build and maintain deeper, more meaningful connections by organizing their most important relationships and setting reminders to stay in touch with VIP contacts.

In addition to my work with My Orbit, I co-host the EntrepreneurSHIT podcast with Drew Soucy. This podcast offers a raw, unfiltered look at the real challenges of entrepreneurship—focusing on the struggles, fears, and failures that often go untold. Each episode brings together candid conversations over drinks, giving listeners an honest insight into the resilience it takes to build a business. Our goal is to create a space where entrepreneurs can connect, share their vulnerabilities, and learn from one another.
As an innovation consultant, I focus on new product creation, validation, and go-to-market strategies—particularly for software solutions. I work with both consumer-focused platforms and B2B companies, helping them quickly spin up and validate ideas or optimize their software and user experiences. From concept to execution, I help businesses efficiently bring innovative products to market, ensuring alignment with user needs and industry trends.
Mentoring is a big part of my journey as well, and I currently serve as a Founder in Residence at Northeastern University, where I guide early-stage startups on their entrepreneurial journeys.
Whether through tech ventures, the podcast, or social impact projects, I’m driven by the same mission: to use technology and honest conversations to create impactful, scalable solutions that make a difference in people’s lives.

Adopets is one of the ventures I have loved the most. It started in 2016 after I adopted a pet with my then girlfriend, and wanted to create a more optimized experience for adoption. Years and hundreds of thousands of adoptions later, we were acquired (albeit against my will) and merged with another company in the pet space.
