Top SchoolTim Ogilvie is a founder and seasoned internet entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building startups from product-market fit to successful exits, including founding Staked (acquired by Kraken) and AdBuyer.com. He combines a Yale CS foundation with hands-on engineering chops and cross-functional leadership across product, marketing, and strategic partnerships, enabling him to bridge technical teams and commercial growth. Tim scaled revenue-generating businesses in diverse spaces—ad tech, gaming intelligence, crypto infrastructure, and now AI data incentives—often turning early-stage ideas into investor returns.
