Hey, I'm Javi
I lead Product and Growth at an AI startup in San Francisco, founded by Sebastian Thrun.
I joined BeReal and Retro in their early days, and that's where I learned what I still obsess over: retention, viral loops, and product experiences people actually come back to. These days I also advise early-stage consumer apps.

GOLD
Product & Growth · 2025–Present
I joined Gold in 2025 to lead product and growth, and took the app from pre-launch to Top Charts in the US. Day to day I work across engineering, design, and ML, deciding what we build and shipping it.
The feature I'm proudest of is our newest search, the one playing on the phone. You describe what you're looking for in plain language, and it recommends pieces based on your taste graph. I led the ML engineers and designers who built it, from first prototype to rollout.
