Welcome to AI Month!
Throughout the month of September, Startup Grind is hosting this global initiative designed to empower startups in navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
Our Startup Grind AI Month upcoming fireside chat is hosting Dr. Amr Awadallah is the CEO and cofounder of Vectara.
Dr. Amr Awadallah is the CEO and cofounder of Vectara, a company that is enabling organizations to leverage GenAI in business applications by reducing risks from hallucinations, bias, copyright infringement, and model weight pollution.
Amr previously served as VP of Developer Relations for Google Cloud. Prior to joining Google, Amr co-founded Cloudera in 2008 and as Global CTO and sold it for $5.3B, he spent 11 years working closely with enterprises around the world on how to ingest and extract value from big data (he famously coined the concept of “schema-on-read vs schema-on-write”).
He also served as vice president of product intelligence engineering at Yahoo!. Amr joined Yahoo after they acquired his first startup, Aptivia, in mid-2000 which was a search engine for online product information. Amr received his PhD in EE from Stanford University, and his Bachelor and Master Degrees from Cairo University.
The moderator of the fireside chat will be announced at a later date.
Join us virtually on Wednesday, September 10; the event will start at 8:00 p.m (GMT+3).
