Jonathan Tiret is a seasoned technology leader and co-founder currently serving as CTO of Upstream (YC S23), with 11 years of engineering and leadership experience building products that scale. He has led engineering, platform and omnichannel teams at fast-growing companies like HiPay, Photobox and Doctrine, and served as interim CTO/VP engineering and seed investor supporting startups across Europe and LATAM. Jonathan combines hands-on product engineering (mobile, web, infrastructure) with strategic skills in org design, technical due diligence and developer experience. He founded a high-traffic web startup as a teenager, demonstrating early product instincts and growth savvy that still inform his founder-first approach today. Based in Paris, he blends YC-backed startup experience with practical VC-facing audit and training work, making him equally comfortable shipping code or advising founders on scaling technology teams.
