About

Personally, I’m a dorky, curious human. I’m a Bay Area bred and proud public school kid (go Bruins!) currently residing in SF after stints in NYC and SEA. I geek out about marathon training, hip-hop and r&b music, streetwear and sneakers, cocktail mixing, and building startups. I might also guiltily binge trash dating shows and anime every once in a while. Lisa Li is my better half and we have a little pup named Butter now.

Professionally, I like operating in startups and trying out new things. Most recently I worked on Inari, a YC-backed “AI PM” that automatically analyzes feedback, surfaces insights, and identifies product opportunities. I’ve led product, operations, and analytics teams at Dapper Labs (NBA Top Shot and NFL ALL DAY), Hoist (empowering entrepreneurs to start SMB’s), and Opendoor (pricing homes and portfolio management). I started my career working on analytics at Amazon where data became my love language.

This is meant to be my weird home on the internet. The main purpose of this space is be more comfortable thinking out loud, share my favorite content that I run into, and develop a serendipity machine to meet others on the internet. If you ever want to link, hit me up!

And for those that don’t know: knarfeel is franklee backwards.
