Update from Christos - Oct 2024 π
New beginnings, Cognome launch, AI models, SSACT Climate Tech accelerator mentoring, Miami coworking and talks.
Hello,
Fall is here, the season that marks new beginnings for me. What better time to pursue ideas than after enjoying the world-renowned Greek summer?! ποΈ
My summer was much more modest. Still, I feel excited for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
At work, after a few hard-working months, the Cognome data platform is ready for prime time and will be deployed at a few hospitals & universities this quarter. Very exciting!
My focus now shifts to the Cognome AI models. This is not some overhyped AI - it is the "working behind the scenes and making an impact" type (like me π)! Some of these models predict diseases like sepsis and could save thousands of lives.
ο»Ώο»ΏOn the mentoring front, I participate in the Fall 2024 cohort of Darena Venture's Sub-Saharan Africa Climate Tech (SSACT) accelerator, working with startups that tackle climate challenges in Africa and beyond.
On the personal front, my Miami life entered a new phase in the summer as Clarissa and I moved in together. Given my passionately independent nature this is quite a development. I suppose all the years of working on myself are paying off! π
Another initiative is to get more involved in the Miami startup community. To support this, I am working out of βThe Hub at Office Logicβ coworking space on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I already gave a talk on Product-Market Fit. The goal is to physically connect with local entrepreneurs both through my "office" presence and by participating in relevant activities.
Otherwise, Miami came out unscathed from another (nasty) Hurricane season and I am looking forward to our balmy fall!
Whatβs new with you? Any exciting personal or professional developments? Send me a reply!
Thank you for your love and support.
Christos
