Jerry Wu is Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Auxos, a Y Combinator-backed AI platform that creates simulated audiences for customer research, enabling marketing, product, and research teams to validate decisions at population scale in minutes.

Jerry studied Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania as a Division 1 athlete, and went on to build infrastructure at Meta and Instagram powering Reels, ads, and Facebook Feed, generating over $100M in incremental revenue per year.

A former Team USA fencer, Jerry co-founded Auxos alongside teammates he has known for over 15 years, bringing elite competitive discipline to the world of AI-driven product research.

At Instagram, Jerry witnessed firsthand how waiting for A/B testing results became the critical bottleneck in the product development lifecycle, a pain point that directly inspired the creation of Auxos.

Auxos, part of Y Combinator's P26 batch, delivers population-scale insights within minutes at a fraction of the cost of traditional surveys and panels, helping companies validate product, pricing, and positioning decisions before going live.
