Bio

About

Jake Toepel is Chief Technology Officer of LeanScale, where he builds the AI-native revenue operations systems behind fast-growing B2B SaaS companies — working systems rather than decks about AI. He leads development of Vasco, LeanScale's context graph: the semantic layer that maps a company's raw CRM, billing and product data to what it means in their business, so agents answer from a model of the business the team has already agreed is correct.
