John Stimac

Lowkey, you gotta hear about John Stimac. This guy’s the real deal in the startup game. He’s part of YC W24, so you know he’s crushing it with Thorntale, a company he co-founded that’s basically trying to change how we do presentations. Think AI-powered, data storytelling tools that make decks look advanced. No bullshit, it’s like the future of presenting is here, and he’s leading the charge.

Before Thorntale, John was deep in the software scene, working as an engineer at Clockwise-yeah, that popular productivity app. The guy’s got solid tech creds, but he’s all about building products that actually matter. He crafts tools that make people’s lives easier and more strong. You can tell he’s driven to push boundaries and create shit that’s not just good-he tries to build the best in the world.

Look, what’s crazy is how his process shows he’s all about taking big swings. Starting Thorntale isn’t some random thing; it’s the next step for someone who’s already seen what’s possible in tech, but wants to do more. He’s not just building for the sake of it-he’s building tools that tell stories better, smarter, faster. That’s a guy who’s thinking about the future and jumping into it headfirst.

And honestly, his story tells you he’s relentless. From a solid engineering background to jumping into YC, that’s no joke. It’s about someone who understands tech inside out but also gets that startups are about solving real problems, not just chasing shiny objects. He’s the kind of founder who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, learn, iterate, and come out with something that could actually change the game.

Bottom line? John Stimac is one of those founders who’s built for the future. He’s got the skills, the vision, and the grit to make waves. Keep an eye on him-he’s just getting started.
