Summary
🤩
RockstarAlexander Morisse is a founder and CEO who bridges deep theoretical physics with product-grade AI, spending twelve years in theoretical physics and over a decade building and exiting multiple AI companies (including work tied to Beats/Apple and five exits). He now leads Therml.ai to reinvent compute with thermodynamics-first silicon—an ASIC that “trains itself”—after concluding many ML problems are really physics problems solved with the wrong tools. His background spans hands-on data science and ML systems across adtech, supply chain, cyber, finance, and biotech, plus leadership roles such as Head of Graph Data Science at Graphistry and founding TensorML. Unusually, he couples string theory rigor with startup execution, having published academic work and built production recommendation and graph-visualization systems. Based in Texas but globally oriented, he advises organizations from art CRM to cultural theory projects, and invites collaborators at the physics–computation boundary or skeptical investors tired of GPU rehashes.
