Hooman Radfar

Co-Founder & CEO, Collective

Hooman Radfar is the co-founder and CEO of Collective, an AI-powered financial back-office — formation, bookkeeping, taxes, and compliance — for businesses-of-one. He says Collective now supports 250 clients per bookkeeper and climbing, reaching software-grade margins, and makes an economic (not technical) case for why the frontier labs won't simply absorb the app layer. He previously co-founded AddThis, acquired by Oracle, and has been an early investor in companies including Uber, Stripe, and SpaceX.
