- Brad Eckert** is an American entrepreneur and co-founder of **Woz**, an artificial intelligence platform that enables users to build and scale software businesses without coding expertise. Woz is a member of the Y Combinator Winter 2025 batch and is based in San Francisco, California.[1]
Career
Prior to founding Woz, Eckert co-founded Full Sleep, a company that developed a product to monitor and analyze sleep patterns using radar technology, operating without wearables or cameras. He was profiled by Forbes in connection with that venture.[2]
Eckert co-founded Woz to address what the company describes as a longstanding barrier to entrepreneurship: the need for coding ability and software architecture expertise. The Woz platform uses a team of AI agents to allow users with no technical background to build software products, bring them to market, and grow a business, all without requiring a technical co-founder or an in-house engineering team.[3]
Woz's initial focus is on helping entrepreneurs build mobile applications and publish them directly to app stores. The company cites use cases such as a personal trainer building a fitness app for clients. The platform's longer-term stated goal is to become the default platform where "millions of AI-enabled entrepreneurs launch and scale businesses."[1]
According to Y Combinator's company profile, Woz was built by a team of engineers and machine learning scientists who had worked together building complex AI systems for approximately a decade prior to founding the company. The platform operates in the artificial intelligence, SaaS, design, and no-code sectors.[1]
In October 2025, Woz raised $6 million in seed funding. The round's legal representation was provided by Foley & Lardner LLP. The company's investors include Y Combinator, Untapped Ventures, and MGV, among others.[4]
