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.
