Jonathan Politzki
My name is Jonathan Alexander Politzki. I grew up in Cary, IL. I studied at the University of Illinois, where I was first introduced to technology startups (Quant, Nephra). My first job was in biotechnology investment banking at Leerink Partners in NYC. Then, I worked at Shaper Capital.
Computers have proven a remarkable ability to understand the world and us. I am very interested in how we can teach computers to understand humans and what the implications of that technology will be. I started Jean to build this technology. Most of this work was inspired by my essay, General Personal Embeddings.
