About the Company

You'll be joining co-founders David (CEO) and Joe (CTO) alongside 3 senior founding engineers.

David has built everything from robots to algorithms for a space agency to AI agents. He graduated top of his class from leading universities in the UK, Singapore, Israel, and the Czech Republic.

Joe has been building LLM-based systems since GPT-2. He designed and built Netcraft's Scam Intelligence system. His agents run in the wild at scale, disrupting hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud annually.

We're backed by Y Combinator, Entrepreneur First, and top angels from OpenAI, Hugging Face, and exited YC founders. We’re growing rapidly and building the infrastructure for generally intelligent systems powering the global economy.
