Jesse Tayler

I started my career in Seattle inventing the first App Store and personally demonstrating it to Steve Jobs in 1993.

I'm a lifelong startup founder and software inventor responsible for many seminal firsts including the App Store the first GEO based food delivery and the earliest private equity trading platform on the web. My work has been curated in the Smithsonian Institute under inventions of the 20th century.

As a gradleshool child, I used my mother's tenure at MIT to access computer labs of famous researchers such as Marvin Minsky who was MITs Artificial Intelligence expert. I learned to solder chips and write assembly code and port compilers onto custom hardware, we experimented in robotics and the LOGO language in the 1980s
