How to Balance Vision and Timing with Naveen Rao of MosaicML
For Starters with Alexa von Tobel - A podcast by Inc. Magazine - Wednesdays
Categories:
Armed with a PhD in computational neuroscience, Naveen Rao has built not one, but two, AI companies at the forefront of his field. In 2014, he started deep learning company Nervana Systems, which was acquired by Intel. And in 2020, he started MosaicML to enable developers to maintain full control over the AI models they build. Just last year, Databricks acquired MosaicML in a $1.3 billion dollar transaction. Naveen shares his framework for evaluating an exit opportunity, how his parents' immigration to the United States shaped his perspective on risk-taking, and his insights into the plausibility of autonomous robots transcending science fiction.
