Summary
Steve Schofield is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 12+ years of experience building developer-centric SaaS, platforms and open ecosystems. As CTO and tech architect at SeedCloud and founder of Beach.io, he combines hands-on engineering (Ruby, Elixir, React, native mac/iOS tooling) with product-led growth to help platforms scale via extensibility, plugins and developer tooling like Forge, Hammer and Anvil. He helped grow an enterprise collaboration business from $10M to $100M ARR and supported $200M+ in venture raises, bringing rare experience in scaling teams, product delivery and fundraising. Focused now on LLMs and agentic systems, he’s lowering barriers to code and accelerating developer productivity through AI-driven workflows. Equally comfortable in advisory due diligence for VC/PE and building consumer-facing developer tools, he blends pragmatic architecture with a maker’s mindset.
