Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRand Hindi is a deeptech entrepreneur and investor who has spent 11+ years building and scaling AI and privacy-first technologies, currently leading Zama as Co-founder & CEO while serving as a GP at Unit.vc. He founded Snips—an on-device voice AI company later acquired by Sonos that now runs in millions of devices—and has since focused on cryptography, confidential computing, and applied ML across startups he funds and advises. A coder since age 10 with a PhD in Bioinformatics from UCL and graduate credentials from Singularity University and THNK, he bridges rigorous research with product-driven execution. Rand’s portfolio includes 70+ investments spanning cryptography, AI, blockchain and biotech, and he has shaped public policy on AI and privacy as a former member of France’s digital council. Less obvious: his career blends early consumer product wins with deep research expertise, making him equally fluent in shipping embedded AI and evaluating breakthrough cryptographic primitives.
