Hi, I'm Jonathan Wegener. I've been building things on the internet since I was twelve years old.
My first hit was an illegal South Park episode download site that got 100,000 visitors in 1997. Pretty wild for a middle school kid.
I built CULPA.info in college, helping millions of Columbia students pick better professors. Then I created ExitStrategyNYC, an app for subway-obsessed New Yorkers that got featured in the New York Times and Wired.
You might know me as the co-founder of Timehop, where we helped 25 million people relive their memories. We raised $14.1M and hit profitability before I joined Snapchat's product team.
Most recently, I built the world's first AirPods entertainment studio. Think Headspace meets gaming, but for your ears. Despite raising $3M and building a team of ex-Google and ex-Apple talent, we decided to wrap it up after three years.
Follow along as I share insights about building products, growing companies, and navigating the startup world.
