  • "Anthony Goldbloom was my most helpful angel investor when I started Decision AI. He just started a VC fund (AIX Ventures) with Richard Socher, Pieter Abbeel, and Chris Manning. That’s a legit all-star lineup of AI. If I started something, those are the first investors I’d want.”

    Dan Becker, CEO Decision.ai

  • “Richard was involved with Whisper before we had a name or a deck. He helped us refine our ML thesis, think through technical risks, and more than that — he was one of the defining factors in landing our first key hires and partners, and he hopped on the phone many times to help close crucial deals. He went above and beyond to help out, and I can truthfully say Whisper might not exist without him.”

    Dwight Crow, Co-Founder, WhisperAI

  • “Anthony has been a great support in building Weights & Biases (as an investor) and my previous company, Figure Eight (as an advisor). He’s helped with everything from product feedback to navigating Google Cloud and helping us think through how to get traction in the Kaggle community. Really appreciate my association with Anthony and look forward to it continuing long into the future.”

    Lukas Biewald, CEO, Weights & Biases

  • “Chris was a secret weapon for us as an angel investor, helping us pick the diamonds from the garbage in research ideas, saving us engineering effort on blind alleys, and keeping our tech ahead of our competition. I can’t state this strongly enough: we would not have been successful without having Chris as a mentor and a friend, and I’m incredibly grateful.”

    Keenon Werling, CEO, Eloquent Labs

  • “Richard has been our first, and most valuable, angel investor. He has added value across every function: from recruiting, to fundraising, to mentorship, to brand building. His operational experience and network are second-to-none and he also happens to be a fantastic person that I look forward to calling a friend for a long time.”

    Ryan Alshak, CEO, Ping

  • “Anthony has been one of our most helpful investors. He’s been an incredible source of startup wisdom for us and has also made some valuable early customer and investor introductions. I would strongly recommend him for any data or AI/ML cap table.”

    Jeremy Stanley, CTO & Co-Founder, Anomalo

  • “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Dr. Chris Manning. He’s worked with our Machine Learning team regularly, helping us hone our research direction, experimentation, and ML-driven product insights. This has led to game-changing new models and product for Forethought’s core AI platform. And Chris’ support and reputation have helped us bring in some of the best talent in AI and NLP. We couldn’t be happier to have Chris as an advisor and angel investor at Forethought.”

    Deon Nicholas, CEO & Co-Founder, Forethought
