Tim Chen - From Idea to Impact: Disrupting Industries with Data and AI

Tim Chen is a managing partner at Essence Venture Capital and part-time advisor to Bessemer Venture Partners.  He was a principal engineer at Grid.ai, which created a high-level interface for the Pytorch deep learning network.  Cloudera acquired Tim's machine-learning-based startup, Hyperpilot, in 2018.

In this conversation, Tim and Jake drill down on what A.I. businesses and products venture capital is really looking to fund, how to tell the hype from real value, and how to think about a product's long vs. short term disruption of a market.
