Comma Blueprint Program Session 1 Ft. Jimmy McDermott from Rubie

​The Comma Blueprint program is a series of evening events geared towards builders who are still in their operating roles and are looking to leave their day job in the next ~3 to 6 months to start a company or have recently left their job in the last 3 months and haven’t raised any funding yet.

​Our first session features Jimmy McDermott from Rubie. Rubie is an AI data platform that automates data migrations. Jimmy is a second time founder and previously built a vertical saas business prior for 7 years. Rubie has raised $15m+ in funding and is based in New York.
