Weotta

We’re a small team of designers, developers, and data heads located in downtown San Francisco. As you can see by our products we have a serious passion for transforming boring “big data” about the real-world around you into beautiful yet practical applications to enrich your daily life. We were a TechCrunch Disrupt finalist. To showcase our capabilities at Disrupt we created the Weotta itinerary generator.

At Disrupt TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington thought Weotta was such a good idea that he told Google’s Marissa Mayer, on stage, to check it out because, “It's probably an idea you’d want to copy.” Read what the press had to say about our TechCrunch launch:

Our investors and advisers include top experts in data, local, and search like the former CEO of Expedia and the founder of AngelList. We hope you enjoy the products we create.

The Core Team

Grant Wernick - CEO, Product vision and knowledge engineering

He eats big data for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes for a midnight snack. He excels at bridging the gaps between technology & business and data & knowledge. Sleeping is not his strong suit.

Jacob Perkins - CTO, Machine learning and natural language processing

He puts the natural in natural language processing. He has a rare talent for manipulating vast quantities of data and creating processes that scale. Standing on his head and flexible shoulders are only a couple of his hidden talents.

Forrest Wernick - UI/UX, Visual design, Front-end development

Using his extraordinary gift to visualize eleven dimensions, he's fantastic at transforming massive amounts of information into easy to use interfaces. In his spare time he melts saxophones with his mind.

Aaron Coleman - Application development and data wrangling

Great at mobile development and accounting for the unexpected, he routinely sees ten moves ahead. He once beat Bobbie Phisher in a chess match, no relation to the esteemed chess player Bobby Fischer, but nonetheless, impressive.
