Jacob Sansbury is a serial founder and engineer with nine years of experience building product-led fintech and AI startups from San Francisco. He started coding professionally at 15, cut his teeth on security and trading systems at Bridgewater, and later led engineering at NVIDIA before co-founding Pluto—an AI-driven trading platform acquired by Robinhood. At Robinhood he ran Agentic AI initiatives and then launched spawn.co, applying his blend of low-latency systems, ML training, and product intuition to automate investing for mainstream users. Jacob pairs hands-on engineering with founder-level product sense, and he’s as comfortable iterating trading algorithms as pitching investors—an early entrepreneur whose childhood curiosity still drives rapid prototyping and bold bets.
