Ian Andrusyk

Co-founding member

Ian Andrusyk began his entrepreneurial journey in the late 1990s, during his high school years, by founding PowerSurge Technologies, which would evolve into FastServers.Net. Prioritizing this venture’s growth, he left Iowa State University in 2001, steering it to become a notable player in the tech industry. This strategic focus led to the acquisition of FastServers.Net by Dallas-based Layered Technologies in 2008.

After FastServers.Net, Ian expanded his business interests, including co-ownership of the Norse Bar, a well-known craft beer establishment in Chicago. In 2018, following the sale of the bar, he relocated from Chicago to New Orleans. During this period, Ian enhanced his education at The Institute of Caro & Cuervo in Bogotá, Colombia before returning to his entrepreneurial roots by establishing The Yggdrasill Group Property Company and forming the New Orleans half of The ChiNOLA Syndicate.

In addition to his business endeavors, Ian Andrusyk is a passionate marathon runner and sports fan. He enjoys exploring the U.S. on camping road trips with his wife, Julie, and their dog, Ellie. Additionally, he spends several weeks each year at their condo in Medellín, Colombia.
