Executive In Residence, Marketing at Thrive Capital
United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKrithika S is a seasoned marketing and startup operator with 12 years of experience helping developer-focused companies scale product, platform, and brand. She was the first marketing hire at both Stripe and OpenAI, has led marketing and developer experience at Retool, and now advises and invests in high-impact dev tools like Vercel, Linear, and WorkOS while serving as Executive in Residence at Thrive Capital. Her background blends product marketing at Google and Dropbox with hands-on GTM leadership—she’s comfortable launching new markets, building teams from scratch, and translating technical products into clear customer value. Less obvious: she’s repeatedly been the “first marketer” in mission-critical orgs, which gives her a rare expertise in inventing marketing functions that grow developer and startup ecosystems. Based in the Bay Area, she pairs a cognitive science and Berkeley Haas business foundation with practical startup operating experience.
