Sebastien Conejo is a product-focused tech founder and CEO based in Berkeley with nine years of experience building developer-first backend tooling and digital products. As co-founder of Manifest he now leads an AI-friendly Backend-as-a-Service that turns a single YAML schema into a full backend, aiming to empower junior developers and streamline collaboration and versioning. His background spans founding CASE (an open-source JS framework) and running Buddyweb, where he combined product management, UX design, and hands-on engineering to deliver bespoke business applications. He repeatedly operates at the intersection of design, developer experience, and emerging AI tooling, and currently serves as Founder in Residence at HEC Paris. A detail often missed: he focuses as much on developer workflows and simplicity (single-file schemas) as on delivering business value, making complex stacks approachable for smaller teams.
