The company was sold for 60 million and his brother wasn’t the founder. Early stage non founder employees definitely have less than 2-3% equity. EDIT: It seems some people are saying he was 1 of 5 founders. However, we need to remember that they raised a pre-seed/seed round for probably around 5-25% of their company. Still a lot of money, but just trying to make sure people understand startup equity.

Takeaways : 1. Finding other places to package ML system is more impactful than optimising the existing components over and over. 2. Pitfall : Focusing too much on academic research for business problem, lots of literatures are not reproducible. 3. Finding a way to apply ML to business is difficult, so it must be worth it and we need to define the right pipelines from training to model optimization. 4. Do not focusing on the ML, focusing on the solution of the business. 5. Solve repetitive problem with human first, then use simple heuristics, then improve the accuracy with ML. 6. Do not focusing on the technology, iterate fast on business problems. 7. Pitfall : Trying to solve too much with ML. Focus on the most important part that can be solved with ML. Dear Joma, I cannot be more thankful for this interview. This kind of interview is incredibly inspiring and valuable. I wish you can make lots of interview like this which focuses on the business/product aspects. We already have tons of material on ML, AI, Coding, Devops blabla. What we need are the WHY and HOW (to be rich like your brother). thankyou thankyou thankyou.....

I really liked David's wisdom there. Everyone is trying to fit models but not spending any thought to solve a problem in the real-world with a holistic approach. Bravo:)
Dang, he’s living the dream
A big part of ML engineering is "production-izing" the model - taking a model you learned and tested in development, and integrating it into whatever system or application you've created. Bonus points if you create a production system that allows you to A/B test different models against each other live in production in a statistically significant way.
Joma's brother is so cool man.
You could tell His brother is a genius. 🧠 gives off that “Brilliant” vibe.
His brother sat with perfect posture throughout the entire interview.
If you're a budding entrepreneur, this video is gold - Lots of tips, how to stay focused on the outcome than premature optimizing. Cheers.
Thats inspirational man Much appreciated

This is a great talk. Your brother is very knowledgable and I'm greatful to hear this conversation and the insights provided. Thanks for both of your time! I'd be interested to hear how "software engineering" concepts are distinguished from ML components. Is the SWE part working with React, Node.JS building UI, user logins, system design components (databases, caching, indexing, CDNs)? Was the SWE focused on web development (DJANGO w/ python or MongoExpressReactNode) or mobile (IOS / Android)?

So ML increases user-readiness for the final product and that involves full project management with various focuses activated simultaneously... it's not all sitting and doing the obvious coding work, anymore... and he thinks that's the fun. He likes doing all the busywork to define the existing infrastructure. Most engineers don't see the gold in being like that, probably because they're impatient. They'd rather lose sleep optimizing components with no confirmed demand because then you look amazing instantly. Loved the visual accompaniment. I'll miss these videos.

I'm curious about the business side of things. Did they raise funds to start their biz and to also pay themselves while building the company? How were they able to sustain themselves while working on the biz? And were they all sharing the same apartment in the meantime? Some things that we don't learn in school or online platforms that would give some good insights for people.
