dognosis is the hardest, easiest, and best company to build

Dognosis is one of the hardest companies to build. We’re doing something that most people think is somewhere between science fiction and pseudoscience, to solve a problem so hard that most people use it as shorthand for an impossible feat, by taking on a scientific challenge that would, in its entirety, literally win you a Nobel prize. We’re doing this in an industry that has been shaped to preserve the interests of multi-billion-dollar incumbents and where stifling innovation is commonplace the name of so-called safety.

But not just that. We need to

a) train novel machine learning models but also

b) craft complex software to capture the multi-modal data to train on from

b) frontier hardware across multiple platforms that needs to record from

c) sophisticated interspecies communication and collaboration while working on

d) clinical datasets obtained via complex operations in the chaotic real-world of hospitals and the field

all

at

the

same

fucking

time.

To do one of these at the frontier would be challenging, to do all of them at the same time is batshit insane.

Dognosis is one of the easiest companies to build. When you have a vision borne from relentless optimism and first-principles thinking, and a mission that is fundamentally about doing good in the most scalable way possible, you cannot help but find the best people, and dogs, to work with you. When we talk about what we do, people actually listen, and those with open minds and hearts genuinely wish us well. When you know what you are doing is scientifically sound, technologically advanced, and directionally true, it is impossible to not wake up and feel insanely motivated to give the absolute best you have within you to make as much progress as you possibly can, there is simply no alternative.

Dognosis is one of the best companies to build. To wake up on a Saturday at our hi-tech farm-labs, to take the dogs for a run in the grassy sun-kissed fields, to return back for a day of interspecies research and development, to actively build towards a future where together, with our long-time best friends and our new-found silicon intelligences, we can best the emperor of all maladies and the rest of his troop, it is too pure of a gift, a quest from which no storm can sway one’s will and no trial is too hard to overcome.
