THE SCALE MAFIA
one of the most special parts of starting a company is watching the people you fought and bled with in the early days go out and change the world.
the Scale crew was supernatural.
@scale_ai was one of the first companies to IOI and IMO-maxx, and the magic of Scale was that all of these geniuses gave a shit and ran through walls. it's no wonder that the Scale mafia is the first true mafia of the modern tech era. just to name a few:
