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:
- cognition founder @stevenkplus1 & president @russelljkaplan
- modal founder @akshat_b
- tech & science advisor to POTUS @mkratsios47
- claude code head of product @_catwu
- kpcb partners @LM_Braswell & @nayakkayak
- bun founder @jarredsumner
- tbd head of product @lindugong
- netic founder @melisatokmak
- cobot founder @BradPorter_
- secureframe founder @shravvmehtaa
- paramount skydance cfo @DennisKCinelli
