Stephen Haney is the Founder and CEO of Paper, a next-generation design platform built for the agentic era, enabling designers and engineers to collaborate through a shared, code-native canvas.

With 11+ years in product engineering, Stephen co-founded Modulz and created Radix UI, accessibility-first React components that reached 4M+ monthly npm downloads, before Modulz was acquired by WorkOS.

Stephen combines deep engineering expertise with a designer's sensibility, championing the belief that designers deserve tools built for modern AI-native and agentic workflows rather than legacy paradigms.

After the WorkOS acquisition of Modulz, Stephen led product engineering at WorkOS from 2022 to 2024, scaling enterprise developer tools and launching AuthKit, before founding Paper in 2024.

Paper has attracted 40,000+ early access signups, raised $38.2M in total funding (Seed and Series A), and counts companies like Ramp, Vercel, Lovable, PostHog, and Y Combinator among its users.
