Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGideon Mendels is a founder and CEO with 12 years of experience building ML and data products, currently leading Comet to bring GitHub-like experiment tracking and reproducibility to machine learning workflows. His background spans applied NLP and speech research at Columbia and Google—where he tackled low-resource language identification, deception detection, and large-scale conversational data collection—through to consumer and e-commerce startups he founded and exited. Gideon combines deep technical hands-on experience (50+ production ML models at GroupWize) with product instincts that solve the messy realities of model drift, undocumented experiments, and reproducibility. Based in New York, he blends research rigor from an MS in Computer Science with entrepreneurial grit—he even bootstrapped Israel’s largest matkot exporter before returning to ML. Outside work he’s an avid runner and guitarist, reflecting a pragmatic, creative approach to problem solving.
