Senior🎓
Top SchoolZak Fassi is a founder-CEO-CTO who has spent 13 years building privacy-first, human-centered systems at the intersection of voice, AI, education, and organizational memory from Oakland. He founded Talk & Comment, a widely adopted voice-note layer for the web with millions of users and a 4.1★ Chrome presence, and has rebuilt it with AI transcription, summarization, and translation to make conversations searchable and borderless. Zak combines product leadership at scale—formerly heading Messaging Product Partnerships at Meta—with hands-on studio practice through Zaigood Labs and INK + PORCELAIN, shipping experimental ventures that span design-commerce, XR, and tokenized creator experiments. He publishes and advises on AI ethics and co-memory frameworks, ghostwriting strategic theses for founders and investors while investing in deep-tech and neuro/biotech startups. Known for quiet, craft-focused engineering, he treats code as trace evidence of thought: offline in practice, online in trace.
