Todd Schiller is the co-founder and CEO of PixieBrix, a low-code platform that lets teams customize, extend, and automate the web apps they already use through browser mods. A programming-languages PhD who studied software verification under Michael Ernst at the University of Washington, he spent years building knowledge-management and analytics tools for hedge funds and consumer companies before starting PixieBrix in 2020. The New York-based company has raised roughly $26M, including a Series A backed by JetBlue Ventures, and has increasingly focused on AI-assisted customer-experience and support workflows.
Mozilla builds Firefox and a family of privacy-first internet products with a single, stubborn goal: keep the web open, private, and not owned by anyone. Spun out of Netscape in 1998 and run by a for-profit corporation wholly owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla competes with the largest companies on earth while answering to a mission instead of shareholders.
