Hi, my name is Earl Lee

I build data infrastructure products at Hightouch. Previously, I founded HeadsUp, a software company that enabled other software companies to identify, nurture, and grow customers using insights from product analytics. I worked on that for three years, raising $8.3M in the process and scaling a team of 20 before exiting to Hightouch.

Before that, I spent six years building FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE). As employee #3, I helped the company grow to 150+ employees and $10M+ ARR, helped build the initial MVP as a software engineer, and iterated towards product-market fit and scale as a product manager. Most importantly, I founded the growth and analytics function there, inspiring me to start HeadsUp.

While exploring what to build after FiscalNote, I spent time as an MS/MBA candidate at Harvard Business School and an investor at Costanoa Ventures, where I worked on early-stage enterprise software deals.

I'm a software engineer by training, having received my BS in Computer Science at Yale and interning at Google as an undergrad.

Interests

I'm an avid weightlifter, runner, and photographer. One of my favorite weekend activies is to post up at a coffee shop and read, think, and tinker. In the absence of a coffee shop, I like to make my own pourovers.
