Jake Craven builds big things — with small teams, fast.
Product manager, founder, and California-licensed attorney. A decade of shipping consumer products — now using claude-code, agent orchestration, and full-stack prototyping to collapse the gap between a roadmap and a running product. Most recently at Denarii Labs, where I automated 60% of our investment due-diligence workflow.

§ 02 — Operating system
I think like a lawyer, plan like a PM, move like a founder.
01 · Founder
I know what "done" costs.
Founded LeagueDAO — raised $2M+, generated $1.5M revenue, managed P&L across 20-person distributed teams. I don't estimate scope; I've paid for it.
02 · PM
Ten years of shipping.
Consumer products from film distribution to Web3 fantasy. GTM strategy, KPI infrastructure, Agile at scale. Retention lifts of 30–100%, revenue growth to 3x.
03 · Attorney
Risk is a variable.
J.D. from Southwestern Law. Passed the California Bar in 2014. I read contracts, spot regulatory traps, and structure deals so they close.
§ 03 — A chronological spine
