Anant Jain

Hi! I’m Anant. Welcome to my little home on the web.

I'm part of the engineering team at Brex. Before Brex, I co-founded two startups: Compose Labs and EagerPanda.

At Compose Labs, we built tools to automatically generate videos from text articles — Brex acquired the team in March 2020. EagerPanda was a publishing platform with a realtime, multiplayer editor with version controls (think Google Docs + Medium + GitHub).

After spending 10+ years across multiple engineering and product roles in high-growth startups, I'm currently focusing on building and operating highly functional engineering teams in a distributed, remote-first world. You can reach me at me@anantjain.dev or @anantja_in.
