Founders

  • Louis LecatFounder

    I'm the founder & CEO @ Upstream. I was one of the early product people @ Asana, driving growth and adoption up to $100M ARR. I went on to lead the entire product team @ Algolia (YC W14) as their Head of Product through series B and C, assembling a team of 20+ talented product builders, while growing ARR 2.5x to $100M+. Also worked @ AgilOne (acquired) and graduated from @ Stanford and @ Ecole des Ponts

  • Jonathan TiretFounder

    I am the co-founder & CTO @ Upstream. My love for software started when I was only a teenager: I developed @ Dino Gaia, one of the most popular online French consumer games in the 2000s, registering a million visits every month. I've since built extensive technical hands-on and leadership experience across multiple sectors, including ride-hailing, fintech, and legaltech. I was most recently the VP of Engineering @ Doctrine before it got acquired.
