Top SchoolJames Dale is a founder and product-minded software engineer with 11 years’ experience turning ambitious ideas into market-ready mobile and AI-integrated apps. He co-founded an app acquired by Snap Inc., raised VC backing (including Google Ventures), and built the first AR measurement app for iOS—shipping ahead of a competing first-party product. At Friday Technologies he leads a Design-Development-Distribution process that helps startups navigate funding, app store approvals and go-to-market, and he also mentors RMIT students while angel investing in early-stage startups. His background includes machine learning work at Apple (Create ML) and collaborations with Stanford on COVID medical tech, reflecting a blend of research-facing ML and shipping consumer products. Based in Melbourne, he combines hacker-era self-taught grit (learning from borrowed library books) with repeat founder experience and a knack for turning “too-hard” projects into scalable businesses.
