I'm starting a company with Bradley Xu and Amit Kallakuri.

Bradley and I met in our first week at CMU. Since then we've pulled all-nighters on the same assignments, shipped a long list of side projects, and traveled the world together. He was an engineering fellow at Sutter Hill Ventures, worked on pre-training and inference at Reve, and built distributed systems and search agents at Sigma. He's the most relentless engineer and the best systems thinker I know.

Bradley and Amit have been best friends since they were 11, and they've been building things together nearly as long. In high school they trained a computer vision model to map hundreds of tents and hospitals around a refugee camp in South Sudan.

Amit studied politics and economics at Dartmouth, and joined Clay when it was around 50 people. He's one of the sharpest and most genuinely curious people I've met, and when Bradley introduced us I knew this was the group I wanted to build with.

Huge thank you to a16z @speedrun for taking the first bet on us: @tkexpress11, @seeamshahidnoor, @jyoung008, @marcussegal, @ndrewlee, @Chen, @_CallMeMacy, @tabishgilani, @fromevanwang, @emilybenn12, @thetalentcarver, @justmazer, Joshua Lu, @kenanhsaleh, @far33d, @tmhammer, @roseajohnson, @andrewchen, @Tocelot, @SamiraBehrouzan, @nazzari, and everyone else who's helped us along the way.
