Jake Bailey

Jake Bailey is the Head of Marketplace Sales at WeWork, where he is responsible for the incubation and go-to-market of new products and services. Previously, Jake led Enterprise Sales for WeWork in Bangalore, India, and worked on the Enterprise team in NYC.

Jake launched his first entrepreneurial endeavor, e-commerce men's street-wear label Rite Brothers Clothing, as a sophomore at Emerson. During his junior year, Jake started what would eventually become Harvest Labs—a SaaS startup based in Austin, TX that created data aggregation technology used by some of the world’s largest enterprises. He was the Co-Founder and CEO of Harvest Labs from 2013 until they sold their technology in 2018. While at Emerson, Jake co-founded the Emerson Accelerator Program (now known as Emerson Launch) after being selected by Emerson President Lee Pelton to design and implement a program that would foster innovation at Emerson and arm the next generation of the creative class with skills they’d need to thrive in the new economy. Through the program, Jake continues to mentor student startups, hold office hours, and lead workshops.
