Jason Chen is the founder and CEO of Slab, a New York–based startup focused on building long-term team knowledge, and brings nine years of software and product leadership to the role. He combines a Stanford CS education (BS and MS) with Y Combinator founder training, blending strong technical depth with startup-scale operational experience. Known for translating complex engineering problems into usable knowledge systems, he bridges data science insights and product design to improve organizational memory. Based in NYC, he brings a hands-on approach to leadership—equally fluent in engineering tradeoffs and GTM priorities—and has consistently focused on making institutional knowledge discoverable and durable. An early-life data scientist turned founder, he emphasizes measurable impact: reducing onboarding friction and surfacing institutional context that teams otherwise lose over time.
