Jesse Zhang

I'm Jesse, cofounder and CPO at Beacons, where we build AI tools for creators to earn through brand deals, affiliate links, and digital products. We serve 8 million creators and help agencies manage rosters and pitch campaigns.

We started Beacons in 2019 as four friends with a hunch that creators would shape the next layer of the internet. Before that, I earned my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, working on deep learning and single-cell genomics in David Tse's lab.
