Uncut Gems
Occasionally, we feature portfolio founders early in their journey that we think are remarkable.
Harry O'Connor
Harry is a robotics engineer and entrepreneur who has spent the last decade building robots. In 2020, he built a humanoid robot and trained it to walk using end-to-end reinforcement learning. He is currently the Founder of a stealth AI lab in San Francisco.
Jason Zoltak
Tofu is building the identity layer for recruiting. AI has supercharged applicant fraud - identity theft, deepfakes, proxy interviews, and synthetic credentials now make it trivially easy for bad actors to infiltrate companies through the hiring process. Jason and his co-founder Jon are the first to launch fraud detection purpose-built for talent acquisition, with a vision to become the authentication standard for the space. They're already winning some of the biggest names in tech as customers and scaling out of Toronto. Jason is a force of nature.
Eric Liu & Pravesh Mansharamani
Pravesh and Eric met at the University of Waterloo, where they ran the largest blockchain club in North America. Since then, they’ve brought together their experience from both early-stage startups and established web3 companies to build the future of prediction markets.Totalis is building the derivatives layer for prediction markets, starting with parlays that let users combine multiple outcomes into a single trade. It gives traders more optionality and leverage, while providing market makers greater capital efficiency and a better way to manage complex bundled risk.
