Summary

Founder and CEO focused on mission-driven AI matchmaking: Jake founded Keeper to build a premium, incentive-aligned matchmaking product that guarantees 100% criteria matches and to scale that solution downward to make long-term pairing broadly accessible. He frames Keeper as addressing a marriage/fertility crisis and positions product design around long-term mating rather than short-term, gamified dating. keeper+2
Product leadership with hands-on early-stage execution: his background includes product ownership and management roles at Virtru (owned core Dashboard and product lines that contributed materially to ARR), IBM (product owner on a help-desk product), and product initiatives at Lincoln Network. His resume and interviews emphasize end-to-end product ownership, user research, and raising product funding. webflow
Public commentator and community builder on dating and relationship science: he is a visible voice on social platforms (X, Instagram), has given podcast interviews and written long-form posts about matchmaking philosophy and product design, and hosts in-person dinners tying founders and investors together. x+2
Early-stage founder with side projects and operator-builder instincts: alongside Keeper he has run multiple side projects (Razzi, Caddystack, Patron) and founded a consumer/fitness startup (Tycho) which was acquired; these indicate a pattern of rapid prototyping, product launches, and exits. webflow+1
