Summary
Josh Snyder is a seasoned software founder and engineer with 16 years of experience building startups and developer-facing products from San Anselmo, California. He has repeatedly co-founded companies—including card.io (acquired by PayPal), foggy.co, Canopy Climate, and multiple iterations of exe.dev—bringing deep product and technical leadership across payments, networking, climate tech, and developer tooling. Josh blends hands-on engineering with executive judgment, having served as CTO and Director of Software Engineering through acquisitions and scale-ups. Trained in formal logic and philosophy at Stanford and Colorado, he applies rigorous, clear thinking to complex system design and ambiguous startup problems. Known for “building piles of code,” he pairs pragmatic shipping instincts with a knack for turning research-y ideas into shipped products. Colleagues would note his pattern of founding, shipping, and exiting companies as both a technical builder and strategic operator.
