Hi there, I’m Jon Dayton. For the past 13 years I’ve been a technical leader and cofounder.

I’m currently enjoying time with a new baby and exploring opportunities.

My home is Midtown Manhattan, but I’ve also lived in New Jersey, Texas, Utah, California, and Barcelona, Spain.

I’ve been lucky enough to work at some pretty amazing companies.

  • IUNU • Head of Software

    AI is fundamentally changing agriculture. We built systems that provide computer vision data to growers, helping to improve productivity.

  • Artemis • CTO

    I joined right as the company was about to take off. Our software platform helped growers manage and improve their processes.

  • Vestorly • Director of Engineering

    Content marketing can be a game changer, but for small players it’s difficult to create. We automated and improved the experience.

  • Love Crossing • Co-founder

    We built a web app to match your friends, creating a fun way to meet new people with the help of your social circle.

  • IBM • Rotational Leadership Program

    I worked in IBM headquarters. I coded a simulation model to project hedging strategies, analyzed software acquisitions, and projected worldwide software revenue and profit.

  • Shadow Mountain Records • General Manager

    We represented artists based in the West, introducing them to a wider audience and winning a Grammy along the way.

  • VentureCapital.org • Associate

    As one of the country’s first accelerators, we helped small companies find funding and improve their business models.

  • Disney/ABC • Associate

    I worked at ABC News at a time when news media was taking a hit, but also when exciting transformations were happening in the market.

  • WhizBang Labs • Marketing

    I wrote whitepapers and worked on marketing campaigns at one of the very first screen scrapers. It was cutting-edge tech at the time!

I love an adventure, whether it’s creating a new product for an untapped market, visiting a unique destination, or making a trek in a far-off place.
