Top SchoolJake Parkinson is a hands-on CTO and serial SaaS founder with 12 years of experience building full-stack, AI-driven products for B2B markets. A Y Combinator S21 alumnus and co-founder of Brite, he has led product and engineering through seed and Series A stages, combining React-frontends with robust backend services in Go and Node. Jake’s early entrepreneurial win—launching a #1-ranked soccer flash games site as a teen—gave him practical mastery of organic growth and monetization that still informs his product and GTM decisions. Currently he’s spearheading an AI platform at Checkk AI to reduce E&O exposure in insurance via automated policy review and document processing. He bridges startup speed and engineering discipline, from microservices, gRPC, and Kubernetes to frontend UX, and often moves between architecture and shipping code himself. His background shows a rare blend of growth-oriented product instincts and deep technical execution across the full stack.
