Jesse Robbins
Founder and Investor in San Francisco, California
I am currently on a research sabbatical focused on AI safety and reliability, while still investing in and advising founders building new platforms with AI.
I invest at the seed stage in AI developer tools and infrastructure. I look for founders with taste, solving problems they know firsthand, whose product is becoming the operating system for an industry. I know the pattern from the inside. I cofounded Chef, which pioneered cloud infrastructure automation. Facebook, Google, Apple, and IBM adopted it, and it was acquired for over $220 million.
As Amazon's Master of Disaster, I built GameDay, the foundation of modern incident management, SRE, and chaos engineering. I cofounded the Velocity Conference and helped start the DevOps movement.
