Why I'm Starting a New AI Company

After two and a half incredible years leading data at Spotify -- following Spotify's acquisition of my last startup -- I left a couple of weeks ago to start a new company. We'll be using data and AI to tackle a world problem that I've been circling around for some time -- and that now feels critical and solvable. I wanted to share why I'm embarking on this new endeavor, what I hope we'll accomplish, and an invitation to join us. I've always viewed entrepreneurship as a way to rapidly, independently, and sustainably solve problems you observe in society. Against the backdrop of a rising, anti-scientific movement in 2005, I started a magazine to counter that cultural force and advance science's place in society.
