Davit is founding CEO of Activeloop, he started his PhD at Princeton University, his research involved reconstructing the connectome of the mouse brain. In this research he dealt with large-scale unstructured data which was extremely expensive (amounting to millions of dollars) to manage. Later on, he realized that this problem is a real pain point, not only in the lab setting but also for many companies across industries. This made him think of a radically more efficient, and a machine-learning native way to work with data. The idea of changing how an ML team can create and manage datasets got him into Y Combinator, where he started Activeloop, a startup that has attracted the investment of prominent Silicon Valley VC firms and angel investors, and the attention of the open-source community, with the framework trending number 1 in Python on GitHub worldwide earlier this year.Show Notes2:05 – Davit’s experience6:44 – What is your success criteria in the mouse connectome?8:44 – What did you learn from this?10:00 – Could this solve ALS?13:19 – What is the problem you’re solving17:17 – How do you prepare the data?24:00 – Why are the naysayers wrong?25:21 – What is the name of the technology?31:19 – What problem have you not solved?37:44 – What keeps you up at night?38:42 – How are you finding talent? 41:06 – What do you do for fun?ActiveloopActiveloop - TwitterDavit Buniatyan - LinkedInConnect with the TeamProducer Kate Brown - LinkedIn.

Alex was previously a GM at AWS and is currently a Co-Founder at Gretel.ai. Gretel is a privacy startup that enables developers, researchers, and scientists to quickly create safe versions of data for use in pre-production environments and machine learning workloads, which are shareable across teams and organizations. These tools address head-on the massive data privacy bottleneck--which has stifled innovation across multiple industries for years—by equipping builders everywhere with the ability to create quality datasets that scale.In short, synthetic data levels the playing field for everyone. This democratization of data will foster competition, scientific discoveries, and the inventions that will drive the next revolution of our data economy. The company recently closed their series-A funding, led by Greylock, for another $12 million and brought Jason Warner, the current CTO for GitHub, on as an investor. Gretel also launched its latest public beta, Beta2, which offers privacy engineering as a service for everyone, not just developers.Show Notes2:03 – Alex’s background4:36 – What time frame was Harvest AI?7:14 – How does NLP play into Harvest AI?10:50 – How can we not have enough knowledge?14:08 – Does the tech exist today for security?18:14 – Privacy issues20:42 – What does Gretel stand for?27:42 – Do you increase the opportunity for bias?31:18 – Where is the sweet spot for Gretel?33:30 – When do synthetic not work?37:42 – What is practical privacy?GretelConnect with the TeamProducer Kate Brown - LinkedIn.
