San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Chu is a founder and operator with nine years of experience building people-first programs that scale, currently leading Seen, a San Francisco-based company that treats social connection as a trainable skill. He previously built high-impact operations at Springboard—hiring 50+ people, launching a B2B business unit, and creating predictive metrics and automated interventions to boost student outcomes. Early-stage growth and mentor-network scaling are core strengths: he grew Springboard’s mentor network from 70 to 300 and raised NPS from 24 to 73. Comfortable at the intersection of product, operations, and coaching, Phil blends evidence-based behavior design with pragmatic GTM execution. A former mobile ad account manager and student accelerator cofounder, he brings both commercial rigor and a knack for translating behavioral science into measurable programs. He also maintains a lightly active developer presence—preferring archival forks and targeted bug reports—suggesting a practical, no-nonsense approach to tooling.
