Chris Raethke
Founder & CEO of Notiv
Chris Raethke is the CEO and co-founder of Notiv. For more than 20 years, he has been an entrepreneur, designer, and technology leader, usually all at once. In 2018, Chris and Iain launched Notiv, an AI-based product thinking company that enables smart collaboration around meetings. Notiv started out of frustration from not having an ability to capture, store and recall information in the same way we access a word document. In 2012, Chris co-founded Bugcrowd Inc, the pioneer of crowdsourced security testing for web, mobile, source code, and client-side applications. As Co-founder and CTO, he led Bugcrowd’s engineering, product, and machine learning teams and set the technical vision for the company. Chris’s technical and business leadership was instrumental in building Bugcrowd into one of the largest security web services in the world. Chris continues to play a critical role in the strategic direction of the business. Chris believes that technology should allow humans to focus more and give us time back in our day. His projects do this by looking at our most important, but most inefficient daily experiences and making them better. Chris was studying a Bachelor of Computer Science and Bachelor of Microelectronic Engineering before being dragged into the world of startups.
