Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarko Jak is a serial founder and product-focused technologist with 11 years of experience building data-driven marketplaces and ML-backed recruitment and hiring tools. He has founded multiple startups—including Overscore, nFold, Secta AI Labs and Thought Substrate—where he led product, MLOps and growth, shipping production microservices and ML pipelines that solved unstructured text problems at scale. Comfortable in high-pressure environments, he blends rapid execution with careful trade-off analysis across product, go-to-market and revenue growth. He’s advised and led product strategy for health-tech and regulatory products, applying behavioral science and experimentation to drive user activation and retention. Based in Austin, he pairs hands-on engineering (Dockerized, horizontally scalable architectures) with enterprise sales and marketplace scaling experience. An operator who still codes, he is drawn to complex, human-centered problems like the “generated self” and building products people actually want.
