Summary
Jesse Spaulding is a serial founder and product builder with 11 years of experience launching consumer platforms and algorithmic trading systems. He founded CourseTalk, ThinkLab, and SocialTable—running 200+ curated dinners that generated 30,000 signups and a TikTok guest post that reached 2M+ views—and now is building Soma, an invite-only events platform focused on Asia. Jesse pairs product intuition with quantitative rigor, having independently developed low-risk crypto trading systems that produced multi-million dollar profits and high-frequency strategies earlier in his career. He has a track record of turning community-led experiments into scalable products and monetizable models, from open research collaboration to founder travel apps. Based in Hong Kong, he’s actively hiring exceptional talent in marketing and events to scale Soma’s next phase. An understated strength: he blends hands-on engineering and data-driven trading experience with a knack for designing intimate, high-engagement real-world experiences.
