Layerpath

Every team explains their product manually. Every prospect navigates it alone. Layerpath closes that gap with AI - for both sides at once.

Bio

I've spent 20 years asking one question: did they actually get it? Not did they watch it - did they understand what to do next? I built product mockups for 300+ startups, then spent 10 years in GTM at Zoho as it scaled from $200M to $1.5B. Same pattern every time: the product was good. The understanding wasn't. Now I'm building Layerpath. Aspiring triathlete. Based in San Francisco.
