About

I’m Alex, the co-founder and CEO of Playmaker, a data extraction and automation platform. Before Playmaker, I worked in a variety of operational roles across the tech world. Initially, I was a systems integration consultant at Accenture, where I led project workstreams at UBS Investment Bank and HSBC. After that I was the second EMEA hire and helped build GTM at Freshworks, which went public in 2021. Then I was Chief Strategy Officer at Startup Grind, the world's largest startup community, where I built global programs to support startups, and even started a tiny VC fund before I left. I've had dozens of side projects, and am passionate about entrepreneurship. When I'm not working you can either find me spending time with family, playing sport or learning about entrepreneurship :)

I’m Jakob Knutzen, Co-founder of Butter. Ask Me Anything! 💥

Hey everyone I m Jakob, co-founder of Butter, which we've built to help people run super-engaging, interactive sessions from start to finish. We re about to launch Scenes, an exciting new tool for interactive presentations and collaboration which people can use alongside Zoom/MS Teams/Google Meet perfect for anyone who cares about keeping participants focused and engaged! We ve launched on Product Hunt 3x before, and we've hit #1 Product of the Day and became a finalist for the Golden Kitty Awards so I'm super grateful and excited to do an AMA and share our learnings here! Ask me anything about building a fully-remote startup, product- and community-led growth, keeping clarity, conviction and focus as a founder, and the future of collaboration!
