Notes on Software, Startups, & Teams

Anant Jain

Hi! I'm Anant. đź‘‹

I write about building startups and engineering teams.

I lead engineering for Coinbase Business, where we're enabling startups and small businesses to integrate stablecoins into their financial operations, unlocking instant global payments, and much more. Prior to Coinbase, I led the engineering groups building Brex's Travel, Bill Pay, Procurement, Vendors, and Banking products.

Before Brex, I co-founded two startups: Compose Labs and EagerPanda. At Compose Labs, we built tools to automatically generate videos from text articles (acquired by Brex) and EagerPanda was a publishing platform with a realtime, multiplayer editor with version controls — think Google Docs + Medium + GitHub.
