I’m on a mission to inspire people to do more of what inspires them. 

None of us are truly self-made, we’re a collection of those who’ve supported and guided us along the way.

At Hubble, we believe one conversation can change everything. That’s why we built a platform where you can book 1:1 calls with the people who’ve actually done it…founders, investors, and operators from the best startups and funds. They share what they’ve learned, what they wish they’d known, and the mistakes you can avoid, so you don’t have to go it alone.

My journey into startups began in 2013, when I caught the entrepreneurial bug while working as a Private Wealth Manager at Wells Fargo Advisors, serving tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley. Since then, I’ve been living the founder life…building, scaling, raising capital, and mentoring others along the way.

Before my career in finance and tech, I played wide receiver in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and Chicago Bears. That experience taught me resilience, teamwork, and how to perform under pressure, lessons I carry into every startup I build.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me on the chessboard. If you’re on Chess.com, send me a challenge: kevj05.

Co-founder & CEO

Building a better way to discover and experience the best bars in San Francisco. Circles combines the best of Google Maps and Waze, providing real-time capacity updates and allowing users to request live video (called vibes) from venues before they arrive. Finding the right place to grab a drink is all about knowing the current atmosphere, that’s where we shine.

Founders — in the early days, you are the brand.

You’re:
- the story
- the signal
- the traction
- the salesperson
- customer support
- the problem solver
- the conviction

Everything.

You have to be your company’s biggest fan long before the world even knows it exists or cares.

Before anyone bets on your company, they’re betting on you and the vision you see for something better.

So give them a reason to.

We built Hubble with 5 engineers and this stack. 

Here's everything actually open on my screen running a marketplace with 600+ experts, and nearing 400k in GMV. 

Run the team
1. Slack — where all comms live. Also a ton of meme's and bad jokes. 
2. Notion — strategy, product briefs, investor updates, roadmaps etc.
3. Linear — engineering tickets. Non-negotiable for any tech company. 
4. Sentry — catches bugs before our users do. Saves us every week.
5. PostHog — super valuable. Session replays, every founder interaction
6. Gather — virtual office for remote teams that is actually kinda cool.  
7. GSuite — obviously

Build the product
1. Figma — every pixel before it gets built.
2. Cursor — AI code editor our engineers live in. We built Hubble with this.
3. Claude  — AI agent that works across the entire codebase. 
4. Recall.ai — powers our meeting intelligence layer.
5. Hiver — shared inbox for our help desk. Keeps support clean as we scale.
6. Screen Studio — just started using this to create onboarding videos.
7. Hubble — yes, we eat our own cooking. 

Raise capital
1. Dropbox DocSend — track exactly who's reading your deck
2. Carta — cap table management. Just use it.
3. Notion — our pitch deck lives here and it never stops evolving.

The one that changed everything
1. Claude cowork— I'll be honest, I didn't expect this to become core to how I operate. It reads my Slack, updates Notion, drafts investor emails, researches experts, and helps me shut down properly at the end of the day. I used it to run most of today. It's less like a tool and more like having an extra person on the team who never drops a ball.

You don't need a massive team or a massive budget. You need the right few tools and the discipline to use them. And an idea that pulls you out of bed everyday. 

Find what works for you and go have some fun. 🤙

From a dropped pass in the 4th quarter…to working on closing a $4M Seed Round. 💰 

Not exactly the path I drew up.

I sat down with Andrew Sridhar 🌊 a Navy SEAL and told the unfiltered story of my journey so far.

We talked about:
→ The 7-year stretch most people never see
→ Failed launches and 14 months of uncertainty
→ Writing on LinkedIn at my lowest point
→ How that became my breakthrough
→ Where true conviction comes from
→ And what a true “aha” moment actually feels like

One thing I’ve learned:

Most people fail because they quit in the desert. If you’re in your own desert season right now, this episode is for you.
