Long
Simon Stern is a developer-relations operator, community builder, and product engineer based in Toronto. He leads DevRel for Superteam Canada, where he doubled Canadian participation in Colosseum (Solana’s global hackathon) and ran the Canadian leg of the TxODDS hackathon to a three-prize sweep, on top of meetups and builder onboarding across the ecosystem. He founded PredictTO, the city’s 150+ member prediction-markets community, and brought economist Robin Hanson to Toronto to headline a 100+ person event with senior banking and prediction-market executives. He hosts the Speakeasy Podcast, interviewing high-agency founders and builders, and founded the Mobile Apps Meetup (2,600+ members, 40+ events). Before going full-time on community, Simon was a Senior Product & Engineering Lead at Allergan Data Labs, where flagship features drove $400M+ in DTC sales, and a product engineer at OrderUp (acquired by Wealthsimple). Today he ships AI-powered consumer apps through Apricot Studios.
