Matt White is Co-Founder and CTO at Propolis (YC X25), an AI-powered QA platform that deploys autonomous browser agents to simulate real users and eliminate manual software testing.

Matt holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Cornell University, where he was Captain of the Varsity Lightweight Rowing team and a member of the Red Key Honor Society.

Matt brings deep infrastructure expertise from his tenure as a senior engineer at Airtable, where he worked on systems designed to reduce the need for manual QA, directly inspiring Propolis.

Prior to Airtable, Matt held engineering roles at Vise and ClassPass, building a strong foundation across fintech and consumer tech before co-founding Propolis with Marc Papazian in 2025.

Propolis, backed by Y Combinator's X25 batch, addresses a critical gap in modern software development by replacing brittle test automation with adaptive AI swarms that test like real users, helping engineering teams ship faster with greater confidence.
