Stanford University School of Medicine San Mateo, California 500+ 500+ connections Connect Connect with Lucky Gunasekara More actions I am a science and tech guy who is fascinated by building data products and services that help scientists and technologists get the most out of their R&D and product efforts. I got my start actually back in high school working as a patent and technology research analyst looking for patents, research papers and products and services that could help R&D teams hit new breakthroughs. The problem - sifting through large amounts of information in siloed repositories - hasn't gotten easier over the last two decades. It's gotten a lot worse as scientific research and technology development has become globalized, online and weirdly networked and fragmented at the same time. We started Miso after several years of consulting with several Fortune100s on their emerging technology R&D programs with the simple goal of getting the right information and insights to the right people at the right time. Andy, our wizard of a CTO, has applied his expertise in content recommendation and personalization to our massive database of hundreds of millions of research papers, patents, blog posts, news articles and open-source repositories to build the first personalized discovery service for scientific researchers and technologists. Our customers wake up every morning to a real-time updated feed of precisely the research papers, patents, news articles, blog posts and open-source projects that are the best fit for their interests and goals. We do this on a deeply personalized basis and the result is that we're not just saving our customers time, we're filling in key blindspots that could be the difference between a winning breakthrough and a costly failure. I'm proud of our team and how much we've accomplished in a short time, but I'm also very grateful that we're making a small dent on meaningful problems via our customers, whether it's organ bioprinting, autonomous driving, near-earth asteroid detection, or cybersecurity.
