James Zhang

Software builder in Brooklyn

Hallway intro

I'm currently building Notion Calendar, formerly known as Cron, helping millions make better use of time.
Previously, I spent 5 years building software to increase the GDP of the internet, including Stripe Checkout and Stripe Billing.
Prior to Stripe, I co-founded a couple of startups in the music & social space, going through YC batch S17.
