Vinoo Ganesh I'm the CEO and founder of Kepler, the ground truth platform for AI, starting with finance. AI is probabilistic and finance can't be, so at Kepler the model interprets the question while deterministic code retrieves the data and does the math. Every number traces back to its source. Before Kepler I ran business engineering at Citadel and was CTO of Veraset. At Palantir I led compute (Spark) and built Project Frontline, its forward deployed engineering program. We're a seed-stage team in New York, backed by Pebblebed, and we're hiring.

Building the ground truth platform for AI, finance first. The model interprets the question, deterministic code retrieves and computes, and every number traces to source. Model-agnostic and runs in the customer's VPC.
