Chris Schnabl

I grew up in in the Alps and was bullied for being different. I skipped 700 hours of high school to join a marketplace startup with millions of daily users (now acquired), while graduating valedictorian.

That allowed me to study before earning a full-ride with distinction from Cambridge and TUM, and joined CDTM as the youngest in my cohort. My first peer-reviewed paper got published when I was 16, and later worked on safe AGI (NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR).

Previous stints include Quant Trading, ML, and did research at Berkeley. These days I still publish and have grown my sidequest into multiple-six-figures.
