Software for running a set of funds: positions, returns, and how each fund is doing against its benchmark. It grew out of the way Darden Capital Management works.

The app is private, so the link asks for a login.

Online groceries in Dubai, from 2014 to 2016. It started with hardware in the stores and switched to an app. George ran the product and Dachi ran operations.

• Regular shoppers: 100 to 7,000 in 8 months

Rank the cities of almost any country by size, and the largest is about twice the size of the second and three times the third. The pattern is called Zipf's law. It has been known since 1913 and nobody has fully explained it.

Dachi's doctoral research tested whether simple rules, followed by millions of people with no one in charge, are enough to produce it, using cellular automata and agent-based simulations. We look at the AI value chain the same way: as one system, not a list of companies.

• Maastricht University and UNU-MERIT, 2016 to 2019

• $5M across two rounds
• 3 angels and 8 VCs
