Summary
Adam Patarino is a two-time founder and seasoned software engineer turned CEO with 13 years of experience building product-led SaaS for enterprise marketing and content teams. As Co-Founder and former CTO of Casted, he led product, engineering, security (including SOC II), and go-to-market execution to create an enterprise podcasting and video platform that embeds AI/ML workflows and deep integrations. Now leading Casted and quietly building a next-stage venture (Rig AI) focused on local-first AI coding assistants, he blends hands-on technical design with company-wide strategy and customer-driven productization. His background spans full-stack engineering, solutions architecture, and demand-gen consultancy, giving him rare fluency between product, sales, and implementation. Based in Indianapolis, Adam pairs entrepreneurial grit with a knack for turning content workflows into scalable technology platforms. An interesting non-obvious thread: he has repeatedly shifted side projects into customer-facing businesses, demonstrating an ability to monetize developer-facing tooling and content infrastructure.
