Founder at NewCo
Menlo Park, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJake Quist is a founder and seasoned software leader with 12 years of professional experience building data-driven startups and products from Menlo Park. He founded Zillabyte (YC-backed) and Quist Software, and later applied his technical and analytical expertise at Sequoia Capital to source and scale high-potential startups. A former Google software engineer and University of Utah MS/BS computer science alumnus, he blends deep engineering chops with startup-building instincts. His background spans consulting across North America and Japan, venture-facing data work, and hands-on product development—skills he now channels into a new stealth venture. An early career odd job as a grave digger hints at a pragmatic, grounded work ethic and willingness to do the unglamorous work that founders often face.
