Ira Ko is a founder and product-minded storyteller with nine years building content systems, product experiences, and GTM engines for startups and enterprise customers from New York. After early product and design work on Arbor (acquired by LiveRamp), Ira has co-founded Audiograph and now leads Shapeshift, a studio that makes films for startups that feel human and scales content distribution. They advise multiple startups on founder-led content and enterprise GTM, having built outbound and content systems that drove core revenue logos at companies like MemVerge and Pave. Ira blends design, product, and go-to-market craft—equally comfortable shipping data marketplaces and directing narrative-driven content—and brings an operator’s curiosity honed by trying (and learning from) a failed creator-economy startup and even a stint launching a DTC coffee effort.
