About
James co-founded Heroku where he obsessed over developer experience details like reducing workflows from two commands to one, then founded Heavybit specifically to help devtool founders with the go-to-market challenges he experienced firsthand. He champions a bottoms-up enterprise adoption framework where developer tools sell through developers rather than to them, and looks for deeply technical, design-forward tools that empower expert developers rather than replace them with low-code abstractions.
