Octeract solves today’s unsolvable optimization problems. We are developing the first optimization software in history that can guarantee that the best solutions to large-scale, non-linear optimization problems will always be found. Our revolutionary technology employs a combination of massive parallelism, AI, and a niche field of mathematics: deterministic global optimization.

Nikos Kazazakis has 10 years of experience in optimization. He spent five years researching Deterministic Global Optimization (DGO) at Imperial College London, inventing the only known parallel DGO algorithms, and proving that it is possible to massively scale up DGO algorithms.

Gabriel Lau did a PhD in molecular physics at Imperial College London, and has extensive experience in numerical methods and local optimization techniques. He has also worked in the financial industry, which involved the development of a large scale electronic trading platform.

Permutive doubles click through rates for publishers and provides personalised sponsored content, all on top of first party data.

Every day, Permutive deals with millions of users for the world’s biggest publishers like The Metro and The Times.

At Pit.ai we mine trading strategies through artificial intelligence. When it comes to processing massive financial data, machines have a natural advantage over humans. Our approach is based on a bleeding-edge, unpublished, proprietary machine learning technology, which allows us to achieve true alpha.

StatusToday analyses human behaviour using AI and organisational psychology to prevent data breaches. Knowing that people are predictable allows StatusToday to bring down breach detection times from several months to a few hours.

Mircea Danila Dumitrescu has more than 15 years of experience in security and large system architecture as Head of Security at JustEat and deputy CTO at Shopcade.

Ankur Modi is an ex-Microsoft Engineer with expertise in big data protection and behavioural patterns who drove major deliverables within Microsoft Dynamics and Office 365. His past clients include Dell, eBay, Salesforce and LinkedIn.

ThirdEye builds crime-fighting AI engines for CCTV to help retailers reduce theft.

Raz Ghafoor is a prize winning Engineer from Imperial. He has previously developed machine learning algorithms for the human control lab at Imperial and a home security start-up.

Thomas Purchas has seven years of software development and image processing experience, with prior experience developing intelligent CCTV software to prevent copper theft.

Tractable’s technology can automate the work of any expert that’s paid to inspect things, in any domain, at near zero marginal cost. We exploit big opportunities in different sectors by harnessing their clients’ distribution. They charge per inspection, at an 80% discount to humans, for the same accuracy, and return results in seconds.

Alex Dalyac holds a Computer Science (Distinction) from Imperial. Razva Ranca studied Computer Science (Distinction) at the University of Cambridge. They both left PhDs in Machine Learning at these institutions to found Tractable.
