Austin Pager

Austin Pager is the co-founder and executive of Coast, an API demonstration platform for technical sales teams, currently based in New York City, New York. He established the software startup in 2022 alongside his former Northwestern University classmate, Spencer Levitt, after the pair graduated a full year early to build application programming interface tools. The enterprise subsequently participated in the prominent Y Combinator accelerator program and successfully secured $2.1 million in seed funding in April 2023 to expand its commercial operations. Pager currently helps lead a growing 30-employee organization that develops visual dashboards and live request features to assist software vendors in commercializing complex technical products. His current professional focus centers on advancing B2B sales enablement technology, streamlining API integrations, and deploying artificial intelligence-powered demonstration environments specifically designed for modern API-first software enterprises.
