Career
Damm completed his education at the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM), an interdisciplinary institution affiliated with universities in Munich, Germany. He subsequently relocated to San Francisco, where he co-founded Dataleap.
Dataleap is an enterprise software company operating in the generative artificial intelligence space. The platform is designed to extend AI-powered automation capabilities—similar to those available to software engineers through tools such as Cursor and Claude Code—to non-technical business teams in areas such as sales, operations, and human resources. The company's stated goal is to enable business users to build and deploy AI-driven automated workflows, referred to as "AI coworkers," without requiring assistance from engineering teams.[2]
Unlike traditional automation platforms that rely on visual workflow builders or require lengthy setup processes, Dataleap employs what it calls a "fully agent-first interface," allowing users to describe the work they want automated and have the platform convert those descriptions into functioning automations. The company positions itself as an alternative to tools such as n8n, emphasizing ease of use and a shorter learning curve.
Dataleap was accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2024 (S24) batch and is categorized within the generative AI, enterprise software, and AI industries. The company is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.[1]
As of early 2026, Damm continues to serve as an active founder and CEO of the company.
