322: How AI is Revolutionizing Finance and Decision-Making: Insights from wunderkind George Sivulka, Hebbia CEO
Manage episode 465957180 series 2986762
George Sivulka, hailed as a wunderkind by Peter Thiel, is the founder of Hebbia, a groundbreaking AI company revolutionizing financial research. Having worked at NASA as a teenager, he later earned a math degree from Stanford in just 2.5 years. George has secured $130M in funding for Hebbia at a $700M valuation, backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, Google Ventures, and Thiel himself. Hebbia’s AI platform, trusted by firms like Centerview Partners and Charlesbank, has driven a 15x revenue growth in 18 months by pioneering RAG techniques that ensure LLM outputs remain within company-sanctioned data.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- How Hebbia is reshaping financial research with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
- The leap from academia to entrepreneurship—how George Sivulka turned research into real-world impact.
- The expanding role of AI in high-stakes industries where precision is critical.
- The ethical challenges of AI and how transparency can make or break trust.
- Why AI agents will change knowledge work—but not in the way you might think.
- The future of AI-powered research and its impact on decision-making.
