I recently co-founded Boston Bayes, a Dutch venture studio, together with the founders who created RxInfer — a powerful open-source probabilistic programming framework enabling organizations to make data-driven decisions under uncertainty. https://lazydynamics.com/
Boston Bayes is now seeking independent founders (for CEO positions) to launch new ventures powered by this technology — startups that turn uncertainty into a competitive edge through real-time probabilistic inference.
Boston Bayes will provide the tools, deep tech, and ongoing support needed to build the future of probabilistic AI, while the founders maintain independence and ownership of their ventures. You can read more here: https://bostonbayes.com
Do you happen to know anyone in your network who might be interested in founding a spin-off with Boston Bayes’ support?
All of this is baffling to me, starting with that I don’t know what a “venture studio” is, also it’s named Boston but it’s in the Netherlands, also I don’t understand what it means to be seeking “independent founders for CEO positions,” also I’m not quite sure what is the real-time probabilistic inference they are talking about. Also I don’t get what’s up with RxInfer, but Bayesian inference is cool, and anything we put in Stan and our workflow book and our research articles is open-source, so anyone is free to use these ideas in whatever computer program they’re writing.
In any case, maybe someone reading this post is doing Bayesian workflow in the business world and would find this to be useful?
I’m baffled as well, but I’m guessing that this is basically a consulting service — you’re starting a company and you pay these people for statistical modeling services.
