The First iOS Hire and the One-Appointment Launch
Jason Garrett joined Maven Clinic before the scale, the funding rounds, or the global footprint. His public biography is only two lines long, but those lines open onto an eleven-year lesson in what early engineering work becomes when it stays useful.
Gabe Roeloffs Left Apple to Rewire the App Store's Checkout
He spent four years shipping operating-system code. Now, with ZeroSettle, he is building a 15-minute route from app-store billing to direct checkout - and turning a court ruling into a product.
Andrés Ugarte
Andrés Ugarte is the founder and CEO of Copilot Money, a privacy-first personal finance app he started after quitting Google in 2018 because he couldn't find a money app he actually wanted to use. Built as a native Swift app with on-device machine learning, Copilot launched in January 2020 with seven users, reached profitability in 2023, and crossed 100,000+ paying subscribers. When Intuit shut down Mint in late 2023, Copilot's signups spiked 5x and the company grew more in four months than in its previous four years - momentum that fueled a $6M Series A led by Nico Wittenborn's Adjacent in March 2024.
