  I'm Erica Bresch, Managing Director at Redpoint. Before joining, I was COO at GitHub. Before that, I started two companies in the DevOps space. We like to say we were doing DevOps before DevOps was a thing.

  I'm Jacob Effron. I joined Redpoint from a big data and cancer care company called Flatiron Health and spent time working with an incubator for Catalyzer, building algorithms on top of low-cost medical devices so anyone could use them. On Unsupervised Learning, we'll be talking with guests like Dave, the CEO of Jasper, Mate, the CTO and co-founder of Databricks, Ilya, one of the authors of the Transformers paper, and David, the CEO of Adept. And our first episode, dropping early next week, is with Hugging Face CEO Clem.
