Jeff Lawson is a lifelong builder. Starting at age 13, he started a video production company so he could afford to play with cool video technology. In college, he started Versity.com, an online college notes company, as an excuse to start building something on the Internet. He was the founding CTO Stubhub, and one of the first product managers at AWS. This led to his founding of Twilio, a company for builders… software developers. He led Twilio as its CEO from founding through 2024, from zero to $4B in revenue and over 300,000 customers globally. Most recently, Jeff bought The Onion, and is working to re-build it for the modern information age. Jeff believes in embracing curiosity and new challenges by just rolling up the sleeves and starting to build.
