Steven Schwartz is a founder-led CEO with 11 years of experience building product-driven companies and technology teams, currently co-founding and scaling Whop from New York. He blends a finance and data science background from NYU Stern with hands-on technical leadership—previously serving as Technology Director at SoleStrike and CEO at Varfaj Partners—bringing both strategic vision and operational execution. Early roles across finance and consulting involved building trading and market-analysis tools, language-enabled virtual assistants, and automation that saved trading costs, reflecting a pattern of applying data and engineering to business problems. As a board member at POSH and a startup operator, he pairs investor-facing perspective with day-to-day product delivery, and his multilingual studies (including Mandarin) hint at a comfort operating across global markets.
