Jon Goldsmith is a seasoned founder and technology leader in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building and scaling product-led startups. He cofounded Local Kitchens, a tech-enabled multi-brand restaurant backed by $75M from General Catalyst, Pear VC and others, and recently transitioned from CEO to Chairman as the company matures. His hands-on engineering roots include full-stack, iOS, dispatch algorithm and payments work at DoorDash and early self-driving software at comma.ai, and he founded AI note-taking startup Tetra (YC W17), which was acquired and folded into Atrium where he led product. That mix of product, AI and operations gives him a track record of turning research and prototypes into acquired businesses and capital-backed growth ventures. From a Potrero Hill garage to a $75M-backed platform, he brings both scrappy engineering experience and scaled startup leadership.
