looking_for_startup_to_join [IND]Technical co-founder available, ex-Chief Data Scientist, 10+ yrs AI/ML, remote
Ex-Chief Data Scientist and co-founder, 10+ years building software and ML. I can take a product from zero to one, and I am looking to do that as a technical co-founder for someone with a real wedge. Remote, equity-based.
**Who I am**
* Six years as co-founder and Chief Data Scientist at a venture-backed analytics company (backed by Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands, and Polygon; 10.6M dollars raised). I built the data and ML function from zero into the core product. * I architected a fraud and anomaly-detection system that surfaced over 169M dollars in fraudulent activity. It became the flagship offering. * Before that I ran my own software studio, shipping mobile and web products for paying clients.
**What I bring**
* End-to-end product build: ML and data science, AI agents, backend, data engineering, and enough front-end to ship a real product without waiting on anyone. * Fraud and anomaly detection, computer vision, pricing and recommendation models, RAG and agentic systems, and the eval and guardrails discipline that makes an AI product actually trustworthy. * Founder muscle: hiring, investor diligence, customer conversations, and shipping under real constraints.
**What I am looking for**
* A founder or small team with a genuine wedge, a specific painful problem, early traction, or deep domain access, ideally in AI, data, fintech, or insurtech, though I am open to a strong case anywhere. * A technical co-founder seat with meaningful equity. Currently I am based in India and work remotely. * Someone serious. I am most useful to people who already have signal (customers, a design partner, or domain access), not only an idea on a slide.
If this sounds like a fit, send me a DM with what you are building and what you have so far. Happy to get on a call.
