Summary
Katharine Jiang is a mission-driven founder and software leader with a decade of experience building startups, products, and teams across Silicon Valley and the DC-Baltimore corridor. She has combined hands-on engineering at companies like Nextdoor and Blend with serial entrepreneurship—founding WizForm to simplify business incorporation (acquired by Clearco) and later leading Loop to help GTM teams tie training data to growth. Now President & CEO of Ecompex, she applies federal contracting expertise and rapid-iteration engineering practices to deliver mission-critical systems for government clients. Katharine also drives community impact through nonprofit founding and VC operations—building resources for underrepresented founders and sourcing technical talent for startups. She blends product-first technical depth (React, Node, Python, Postgres, Typescript) with fundraising and enterprise sales experience, including signing a billion-dollar company as a customer. Notably, her work consistently targets lowering barriers for entrepreneurs, from automating incorporation to demystifying government procurement.
