I'm going to finally try to start my own company. Will it be a "startup"? I don't know. But it will be technical and it will go from 0-1 (or from 0-0). After years of lurking here, watching on the sidelines, working for larger companies, having kids, buying a house, I'm finally going to take the dive. I'm excited, nervous, lost, all at the same time. But I have enough savings and an accommodating spouse, so I don't have to work for a while. I'm a long-time academic, turned ML-practitioner. I have no major online presence. I don't have a brand. But if anyone is interested in talking, DM me, I have lots of time and am still in the divergent phase of entrepreneurship. Edit: Added email address to profile. Excuse the confusion, I have been a lurker too long.

There is no way to DM on HN, as far as I am aware. I would be interested in talking - I have some Ml/NLP based ideas and some free time... See my profile info for my website/email

you can reach me at my username@gmail. i just retired 2 months ago from a 25 year engineering stint starting in cyber and ending as a level 5 ML engineer/data plumber. we may be too well aligned though. i have no major expectations but would love a cool project and good folks to work with. money is second to that.

Good luck, the earlier you get into action the better.
