Paul Klein IV

Paul is a software engineer and startup founder focused on developer tools and infrastructure.


His first company, Stream Club, enabled developers to build live streaming studios in their web browsers. Stream Club raised $2.1m in 2020 and was acquired in 2021 by Mux, a video infrastructure company. At Mux, he leads self-service growth and strategy. Before Stream Club, Paul was a software engineer at Twilio as it grew from $100 million in revenue to over $1+ billion.


Outside of work, you will likely catch Paul staying active. In 2021 he completed a full-distance Ironman, swam from Alcatraz to SF, and ran three marathons. His Hawk Hill PR is a soft 9:29.


Paul has lived in San Francisco for the past ten years, starting with his time studying computer science at San Francisco State University. He’s lived in the Sunset, SOMA, Mission, Duboce Triangle, and Lower Haight.
