Hey, I'm Pierce Freeman. That's me in the photo.
I'm a ML researcher / systems engineer by training. These days I'm a founder so I'm as likely to be knee deep in Sketch as I am in Vim. I studied at Stanford and currently live in San Francisco.

Co-founder

I cofounded Saywhat alongside Will McTighe to make it easier to build businesses through the power of social networking.

Founder

I founded MonkeySee to make it easier to test and automate webapps. We're using the latest language modeling and computer vision to understand HTML and act on it.

Software Engineer ↣ Vice President, Machine Learning

I was at Globality for just over five years. I built up most of their initial ML platform (years 1-3) and then focused on growing their team into the organization it is today (years 3-5). Our focus was building the world's most extensive network of professional service suppliers using web crawling, information extraction, and NLP.

Investor & Advisor

I make small seed-sized investments in promising deep tech startups. I also advise companies on engineering architecture and AI strategy.

Engineer in Residence (Intern)

At Founders Circle Capital, I wrote an ML prioritization pipeline for their prospects so they could focus on the highest likelihood leads.

Student

I studied at Stanford University. My core research was on predictive time series data (for wearable sensors) and multimodal models for language modeling and vision understanding. I worked a lot with early transformers.
