What you likely need
Jacob DeWitte is a high-profile deep-tech founder who has taken Oklo public on the NYSE, backed by Y Combinator and Sam Altman, with $850M+ raised. His immediate priorities are executing on Oklo's 14-gigawatt customer pipeline, navigating the regulatory and operational challenges of deploying commercial nuclear reactors, and managing public-company obligations as a newly listed CEO. His profile is exceptionally strong on the founder dimension; the main gaps are public technical presence (no GitHub, no OSS footprint) and investor-side activity.
