Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Lengerich is an ML researcher and founder with 13 years of experience building applied AI products and startups from voice search to personalized language learning. He has led research and product efforts at Meta and Google, co-founded Mindori (YC-backed) and The Cusp, and now focuses on accelerating scientific and engineering productivity through personal AI at Context Fund. Chris blends deep technical work—published keyword-spotting research and production ML systems—with early-stage investing and advising in genomics, women’s health, and deep RL. He has a track record of turning research into deployed products that improve business outcomes (e.g., faster, more accurate pricing models and a launched language-learning product in Indonesia). Based in Palo Alto, he pairs Stanford CS training and international language study with a founder’s instinct for high-leverage problems and a habit of open-sourcing useful tools.
