Jonathan Libov
I make software for a living. I’m generally attracted to building products that convey new ways of sharing and conveying information. I’ve led product, design and data science teams. Most recently I founded Antimatter, which was acquired by Alpha School. I live in New York, where I’ve spent most of my life outside of a few years in Tel Aviv.
