Get to know Jaleh Rezaei

Yo, so let me tell you about Jaleh Rezaei, this absolute boss in the startup world. She’s the CEO and co-founder of Mutiny, a killer B2B SaaS company that’s all about helping marketers crush it with website personalization and conversions. Started that bad boy back in 2018 during YC’s S18 batch, and man, they’ve raised over $70 million from huge names like Sequoia, Tiger Global, and Insight Partners. That’s no joke.

But the story isn’t just about the money, it’s about who Jaleh is. She’s got this wild mix of deep tech smarts and killer business chops. Born in Tehran to engineer parents, she’s always been into solving problems, whether it’s figuring out how to make tech better or how to grow a biz. She studied mechanical engineering at Berkeley (no small feat), then went straight into Stanford for her MBA and a master’s in Management Science and Engineering. The girl’s got brains.

Before she started Mutiny, she was at Gusto as Head of Marketing, leading customer acquisition, driving revenue, building brand buzz, basically crushing it in the SaaS game. Prior to that, she cut her teeth at VMware doing product marketing, and even spent time at Sequoia Capital, so she’s got that insider’s view of what investors look for and what it takes to scale.
