Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSameer Al-sakran is a seasoned technology founder and CEO with 11+ years building data-driven products and developer tools from Austin. He co-founded and led multiple startups (including White Label Labs and Adopilot) and has steered Metabase as CEO while contributing hands-on backend work—notably Clojure-based database and API features to the popular open-source Metabase BI project. His background blends research-grade computational math from Stanford with early work in genetic programming and practical roles across VC-backed and product teams, giving him a rare mix of algorithmic depth and product intuition. As an advisor and former CTO at Expa, he helps shape seed-stage strategy while still shipping code and database schema work himself.
