Jasmine Oliveira Measures the Work Without Losing Sight of the Worker
She began with Visual Basic, built software for molecular spectra, and joined Jellyfish when the whole company could fit around one lunch table. Now Jasmine Oliveira asks a harder engineering question: how do you measure work without shrinking people to numbers?
Appfire Killed Its Side Projects - Then Built a $200M Software Shelf
The company spent 12 years mixing software with services. Then it made one sharp bet on marketplace apps, raised $149 million, and turned the missing pieces inside Jira into a profitable portfolio with more than $200 million in annual recurring revenue.
Code Climate
Code Climate is a New York-based software engineering intelligence company founded in 2011. It began with automated code review and quality analysis, grew into Velocity - an analytics platform that gives engineering leaders visibility into delivery, DORA metrics and team health - and has since repositioned around helping enterprise leaders measure and manage AI-native engineering transformation, pairing a data platform with Forward Deployed Engineers.
Josh Knowles
Josh Knowles is the CEO of Code Climate, the New York software company whose Velocity platform gives engineering leaders at large organizations data on how their teams actually build software. A Ruby developer by training with more than two decades in the field, he spent years at Pivotal Labs and VMware building and running consulting and application-services teams across the US and Europe before joining Code Climate, rising from VP of Strategy and Operations to General Manager to CEO. He took the top job as Code Climate spun out its code-quality product into a separate company, Qlty Software, and refocused entirely on software engineering intelligence for large, complex enterprises.
Jellyfish
Jellyfish is a Boston-based Engineering Management Platform that turns the signals from engineering tools - Git, Jira, CI/CD, and now AI coding assistants - into business-readable insight. It helps engineering leaders see where their teams spend time, tie that work to company strategy, automate R&D cost capitalization, and measure the real ROI of tools like GitHub Copilot. Founded by veterans of Endeca, Jellyfish has raised roughly $117M and serves hundreds of enterprises including Mastercard, Priceline, and PagerDuty.
Andrew Lau
Andrew Lau is the co-founder and CEO of Jellyfish, the Boston company that pioneered the Engineering Management Platform - software that does for engineering organizations what Salesforce did for sales. An MIT-trained engineer who spent nine years running engineering at search pioneer Endeca, Lau reconnected with two former colleagues a decade later to build a tool that translates the work of software teams into language the business actually understands. Jellyfish has raised roughly $117M, tracks 600-plus engineering organizations, and sits at the center of the industry's loudest debate: how to measure what AI is really doing to software development.
