Founders

  • name: Brice Douglas
    title: Founder/CEO
    role: CEO
    bio: I believe that to create is core to humanity, so I love to build things. In college, I was very involved at the world's largest student-run venture firm and worked in the corporate strategy group of a public YC company. I met Santiago and Danny at a university hackathon, and we decided to work together on Zaymo before dropping out to raise a pre-seed. I like to be outside. Catch me skiing, rock climbing, and running when I'm not building.
  • name: Daniel Jones
    title: Founder/CTO
    role: CTO
    bio: Cofounder and CTO of Zaymo with previous experience in AI and biotech at Harvard Medical School. I won $900k+ in pitch competitions throughout undergrad, published several research papers, and was a competitive pianist.
