all the good stuff inside
i was an analyst at revroad, a venture services firm, diligencing about four startups a week, when the firm passed on one i believed in. so i joined it. that company became talsey ai, and i spent the next six years building it as a co-founder.
now i'm an mba candidate at byu marriott and a member of its ai foundry, building small things with ai coding tools on the side. i'm looking for product, strategy and operations work, especially where ai is involved.
