Btw since there were a bunch of Jeff Dean stories being shared recently, I thought I'd share mine:
Jeff Dean was the second investor in
@SophontAI. We got connected through a founder friend. After briefly reviewing our pitch deck, he immediately decided to invest. He had a high level of conviction in our mission much earlier than many others.
Something I was honestly surprised about is his level of support for our company. As the Chief Scientist at Google, I figured he would be extremely busy but whenever we have any asks of our investors he quickly responds with suggestions and he always tries to find ways to help. I don't know how he has time to do it!
I am so grateful and honored to have Jeff Dean as an investor in Sophont, not just because he has been a massive inspiration for me as an engineer and medical AI researcher, but because of his early conviction and steadfast support of our mission.
