Scott Rosenkrantz

Co-founder & Head of Product

YC S19 founder with seven years of 0→1 experience at the intersection of product and GTM. I grew Plotdrive to hundreds of paying customers by leading customer research, positioning, onboarding, activation, and retention. Previously, I led GTM initiatives in gaming. I’m looking to bring that customer-centered product experience to an ambitious B2B or B2E team.
