Sep 2026 — Present
Marc St Raymond Building things from zero. Started as an engineer, then spent years as a startup CTO and product lead in San Francisco: Head of Product for Tilt’s API (YC, acquired by Airbnb), CTO of Unwind Me (YC, acquired by Soothe) and Raisy (acquired by Entertainment.com). In 2014 I co-founded Jade Leaf Matcha and grew it into the #1 matcha brand in the US before it was acquired. Since 2022 I’ve been investing in companies building on what AI now makes possible, and I’m back to building with it myself.
