I’m Jacob, the Co-founder and COO here at CarSauce. I started out in 2022 behind the camera, helping capture reviews when we were called "Matt Brand Cars," but my Computer Science background quickly pulled me into the business side of things. Now, I oversee the website and our written content to keep the engine running smoothly. You’ll also see me regularly on our YouTube channel, mostly just giving my long-time mate Matt a hard time. We’re all about making car reviews entertaining and easy to digest, and I’m stoked to be part of the team driving that mission.
