Mick Ebeling (born June 26, 1970)[1] is an American inventor, entrepreneur, author, speaker and philanthropist who focuses on developing technology that benefits humanity.

[7] Ebeling is the founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs,[8] a social tech incubator whose stated mission is to "create technology for the sake of humanity".

In April 2009, Ebeling flew five programmers and hackers from Graffiti Research Lab, Free Art and Technology Lab, and openFrameworks to Los Angeles and in the living room of his home created the EyeWriter, an open source, DIY device which enables individuals with paralysis to communicate and create art using only the movement of their eyes.

[10] The EyeWriter project was conceptualized and first created for Tempt One, a Los Angeles-based graffiti artist who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2003.

[13] Time magazine called it one of the "50 Best Inventions of 2010",[6] and the device is now part of the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

[32] Hunger: Not Impossible, now called Bento, is a simple text-based technology that connects those who suffer from food insecurity to pre-paid meals.

In 2001, Mick formed The Ebeling Group (TEG), a commercial and film production company that focuses on animation, design and visual effects.

Ebeling's first book, Not Impossible: The Art and Joy of Doing What Couldn't Be Done, discusses his work on the Eyewriter and Project Daniel and was released by Simon & Schuster on January 6, 2015.

He went on to play basketball for the Air Force Academy, Colorado, before he transferred to University of California, Santa Barbara where he graduated in 1992 with a degree in political science.
