Bryce Bjork

I am a full-stack developer, designer, and entrepreneur. While at high school in my hometown of Concord, MA, I founded a community jobs website and app, growing the platform to over 50,000 users across the United States. At Yale, I studied Economics and Computer Science and co-founded an event venue marketplace which got exclusive event booking deals with Yale Events and major New Haven venues (ultimately shut down due to COVID). Over my entrepreneurial career, I’ve served as a Demo Day judge at startup incubators, a fellow at venture capital firm .406 Ventures, and as an Executive Board Member at the Yale Student Investment Group (which manages ~$500,000 endowment). As a co-founding CEO in college, I raised capital from Rough Draft Ventures (affiliated with General Catalyst) and Dorm Room Fund (affiliated with First Round Capital). In January 2020, my younger brother Chase lost his life to mental illness. Since then, I’ve worked to apply my software engineering, product design, and entrepreneurship skills to support kids like Chase and families like ours. Mental illness is widely prevalent with long-term consequences, yet largely unaddressed. I love coffee in the morning, coding late at night, discovering new cafes, playing tennis, skiing, and spending time with family. I am passionate about using technology for good, and improving adolescent mental health in memory of my late brother Chase.
