Founders

Matt Lee
Founder

Ex-Airbnb, Ex-FB SWE. At Facebook I worked on Election Integrity, using graph algorithms to detect coordinated activity, from foreign election interference to terrorist propaganda. At Airbnb I worked on moonshots that will (maybe) ship late 2023. When I'm not working you can catch me snowboarding or climbing!

Max Kerr
Founder

Formerly doing privacy at FB and security at Microsoft. I was the tech lead for a 30 person engineering team at Facebook, and was involved in the privacy side of most major product launches over the last two years. I founded Talc to help people turn AI tech demos into production apps, along with my long time friend and climbing partner Matt.
