Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Launches ‘Kiss Cam Consulting’ Startup

After his viral kiss cam moment with HR chief Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert on July 16, 2025, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is turning infamy into opportunity with “Kiss Cam Consulting.” The startup coaches executives on dodging PR disasters, sparked by Byron’s jumbotron blunder in Boston, where Chris Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” Kiss Cam Consulting offers $10,000 workshops like “Jumbotron Evasion Tactics” and an AI tool, “CamGuard,” to alert clients of incoming cameras. X users are split, with @TechMemeLord calling it “peak capitalism” and others mocking the price. With $2M in seed funding, Byron aims to expand into “concert etiquette audits.” Astronomer, now led by interim CEO Pete DeJoy, declined to comment.
