CoFounder & CEO at Cyphr

Kansas City Metropolitan Area, Kansas

Jannae Gammage is a two-time founder and the CEO of Cyphr, a financial AI platform transforming how capital flows to underestimated entrepreneurs. She also leads Enact House, a systems design firm for economic development, and Enact Studio, an idea-to-MVP startup incubator helping mission-driven founders build, launch, and fund their ventures. She’s spent the last decade building tech-enabled solutions that merge empathy with innovation—from her award-winning startup The Market Base (acquired in 2022) to today’s work with Cyphr, which uses AI to power intelligent capital deployment across the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Her entrepreneurial journey started at 14—when she raised her first “angel round” from her parents to fund a Nike obsession—and has taken her through nearly 10 years of military service, two exits, and a commitment to designing smarter, more equitable systems. Jannae’s superpower lies in understanding what drives people—from irrational consumer logic to team dynamics—and building companies that scale by meeting humans where they are. Her leadership is grounded in systems thinking, storytelling, and a deep belief in the power of modern tools to unlock legacy problems. She also serves on the Leadership Board of Out In Tech, mentors founders across the country, and considers herself a BBQ evangelist between April and September.
