Yoav Zimet
Founder, Chief Executive Officer at Rythm
San Francisco Bay Area United States
Summary
👤
SeniorYoav Zimet is a founder and CEO with a decade of hands-on software experience who built Rythm, the world’s first community-based group-listening music platform, starting as a 14-year-old hobby project that grew to over 30 million users. He led Rythm through shutdown and relaunch, negotiating support from top record labels and assembling a leadership team rooted in early community connections on Discord. Technically fluent, Yoav has experience building scalable systems and infrastructure work, including stress-testing and Kubernetes migrations as a contractor at 12Tech. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines product-driven entrepreneurship with operational engineering chops and a demonstrated ability to turn viral consumer traction into a compliant, label-backed music service. An uncommon detail: he rebuilt his company’s business and legal foundations as a young founder while preserving the community-first ethos that made Rythm viral.
