Chief Investment Officer at FORA Capital; Founder and CEO at Clostra I was always fascinated with knowing the future. I found two ways to do that: to predict it and to create it. At FORA Capital, which I cofounded and lead as the Chief Investment Officer, we predict the future using AI and math and then we trade many billions of dollars a year based on these predictions on behalf of our investors. At Clostra, as the founder and CEO, I help create the future, creating a platform for applied machine intelligence and a new kind of tech startup. One of Clostra’s products, NewNode, is a smart decentralized network created out of people’s devices. NewNode reliably delivers even if the Internet is degraded or is altogether unavailable. Before, I created LEDBAT, the protocol carrying up to a fifth of Internet traffic, including Apple and Microsoft software updates. I am a mathematician by training and a software engineer by background.
