Summary
Connie Li is a founder and engineering leader with 12 years of experience building large-scale consumer platforms and experimental AI products from San Francisco. After a decade at Tumblr where she led infrastructure and product work—shipping Tumblr Premium to over $1M ARR and re-architecting post storage for 135M MAU—she now runs applied AI labs focused on autonomous systems, digital twins, and human-agent orchestration. Her startups have quickly validated products and markets (e.g., AIMibot’s rapid $1.6K launch and 10k+ waitlist) and prototype coordination tools like shared agent dashboards and multi-human decision simulations. Connie blends hands-on engineering across backend, Android, and services with product-led go-to-market savvy, and she’s active in SF AI communities including AGI House and Frontier Tower. With a background in economics and research at Princeton and experience in statistical modeling for finance, she brings a cross-disciplinary approach to coordination problems and the future of work. Known playfully as “a cat who codes,” she balances rigorous systems thinking with a focus on building joyful, human-centered products.
