About

It's always slightly awkward to write your own bio. ;) I grew up in Oregon with entrepreneurial parents. I started my career in gaming and fell into product management shortly after college. That led me to San Francisco where I worked in gaming for the first few years of my career before starting Product Hunt. Fast-forward to today, I spend most of my time investing in early-stage startups out of Weekend Fund and live in Miami (although I spend a fair amount of time working remotely in LA, NYC, and other places with fast WiFi). Outside of work I enjoy live music, hanging with friends in smaller groups (introvert 🙋🏼‍♂️), and weightlifting.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Linden. I started IFTTT 16 years ago.

In 2010 I covered a wall with sticky notes. Some sketched the database: users, triggers, actions. Others sketched what it might feel like: a triangle for "if," a circle for "then," and a lot of questions. Back then I called each automation a "statement." Today they're Applets. That wall turned into a side project I called "ifttt," and I've been working on it ever since.
