Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAllan Grant is a San Francisco–based serial entrepreneur and hacker with 15 years building and scaling SaaS and marketplaces, best known as co-founder and CTO of Hired and founder/CEO of Talkable. He blends hands-on engineering (coding since 1990) with product-led growth instincts, creating platforms that prioritize measurable conversion, fraud prevention, and rapid onboarding. Allan has a track record of assembling high-performing distributed teams—growing a Ukrainian development subsidiary to 50+ engineers—and has repeatedly taken early-stage ideas from prototype to venture-backed traction. His journey includes a candid startup failure (a hotel PMS that never launched), which he treats as learned experience rather than a setback, and a lifelong curiosity that fuels ambitions to one day become a space entrepreneur.
