Tanya Dadasheva is a co-founder of Ainekko: a 100% open-source company on a mission to democratize how “the machine learning community collaborates on models, datasets, and applications” and helping “the AI community building the future” have more choices than just a single (albeit awesome!) walled garden. She is an ex-VC @Almaz Capital with broad open source investments, ex-OSS policy maker, working to integrate developing countries into the global scene, ex-mission driven entrepreneur helping tech companies affected by the wars to leverage OSS for freedom of tech from politics. She grew up in the worlds that inherited legacy setups and mentality that required fighting a lot of inertia just to focus on the fun and excitement of creating tech. So now she’s on a mission to create a space where it’s not required, building an economically viable, decentralized, self-governed, developer-centric “Open Source AI” future. She’s not afraid of big problems, big swings and big failures and shares all about them in her blog.
