Summary
Jason Raede is a technology entrepreneur and engineering leader with 13 years of experience building and scaling product- and cloud-driven startups. As Cofounder & CEO of Pliable and founder of Whetstone Ventures, he combines hands-on architecture and devops expertise with market-focused product strategy to turn data-heavy problems into intuitive, drag-and-drop experiences. Previously as CTO and principal architect he shipped high-availability, compliance-ready platforms and AI-enabled analytics for finance and lending, driving rapid deployments and bringing automation into core workflows. He’s equally comfortable leading sales-facing solution engineering as he is shaping R&D teams and IP strategy, and has a track record of inventing practical ML/data pipelines that outperformed larger incumbents. Based in Boston, he balances executive life with an unconventional side career as a professional drummer, a hint at his collaborative, performance-oriented approach to teams and product delivery.
