Summary
Ohad E is a serial founder and technical leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling developer-focused products and companies, currently serving as Co-Founder and CTO of Trayo AI. He co-founded and led multiple ventures—both bootstrapped (AppSharp) and venture-backed (Stackbit, acquired by Netlify)—and sits on Netlify’s board after investing early in that company. Known for blending deep engineering craft with product intuition, he has driven R&D and product teams at Chegg and shipped influential platform work since his demo-scene and Palm Pilot developer days. An active early-stage investor and advisor, he backs companies that show originality, strong execution, and long-term thinking, including IFTTT, Riverside, Sanity, and Chromatic. His background spans low-level systems and modern web tooling, and an unusual early achievement: building a best-selling Palm game and one of the earliest CAPTCHAs while still in high school. Based in the U.S., he combines hands-on technical leadership with a knack for spotting and shaping developer-centric opportunities.
