Tim Trefren
Hi, I'm Tim. I am an entrepreneur, software engineer, and investor based in Lyme, New Hampshire.
In 2009 I dropped out of undergrad to start Mixpanel, the first product analytics company. We were part of the Y Combinator S2009 batch and recently raised a large amount of money.
I spent a little over ten years at Mixpanel. In that time I did many things - wrote a lot of code; hired & led a variety of teams (engineering, support, customer success); moved to NYC and opened our first remote office; and led a variety of product and strategy initiatives.
I left at the end of 2019 to take a break & recharge. I am currently learning about climate change.
I am interested in startups, building things, and some of the big challenges facing humanity: climate change, the housing crisis, and education.

About this site

This site is written in markdown and styled using a lightly modified version of Tufte CSS. I build the site with a really simple static site generator I wrote myself.
To add support for multi-paragraph side and margin notes, I wrote a python-markdown extension you can find here.
