Senior🎓
Top SchoolBradford Cross is a serial founder and CEO with 16 years of experience building AI-first startups, venture funds, and purpose-built cities, currently leading Alpha City to design frontier urban ecosystems across Africa. He combines deep technical roots in machine learning and distributed systems with a track record of exits and scaled ventures—from Flightcaster and Prismatic to founding DCVC and multiple AI and fintech companies.
