Summary
Jason Fan is a product-first entrepreneur and operator based in San Francisco with nine years building security, marketplace, and fintech products. As cofounder and CEO of Finic (YC W23), he’s focused on helping financial institutions investigate fraud faster and more accurately after founding Dealwise and driving early revenue in M&A. He’s led teams at Robinhood and Wish, shipping identity and fraud systems—helping Robinhood adopt iOS/Google passkeys and open-banking integrations with Plaid/MX—and he bridges product strategy with hands-on coding when needed. Unusually for a founder, his background includes shipping a SaaS scheduling platform used by thousands at a tattoo chain and teaching software design at the University of Toronto, reflecting a mix of technical depth, operational rigor, and user-focused product instincts.
