Top SchoolChris Butcher is a serial founder and product-minded technologist with 11 years of experience building and scaling startups from first code to exits. Based in San Francisco, he’s co-founded and led multiple startups—most recently pioneering stablecoin-to-fiat payments at Pay.so (acquired and rebranded as Request Technologies) and previously exiting Token Alerts—while also serving as a founding engineer at CharlieHR. He blends hands-on engineering and technical leadership with program-level delivery, now operating in strategic research deployments at OpenAI after product and growth roles at Scale AI. Comfortable switching between CEO, CTO and TPM hats, he has a track record of shipping revenue-generating products, raising venture backing, and engineering lean, profitable systems. An understated strength is turning high-volatility market problems into simple, resilient technical solutions, demonstrated by a profitable bootstrap exit early in his career.
