American businessman Daniel Gross led Apple’s artificial intelligence initiatives, co-founded Cue, worked as a partner at Y-Combinator, and is a well-known technology investor in firms including Figma, GitHub, Airtable, Rippling, Character.ai, and Instacart, among others.
In 1991, Gross was born in Jerusalem, Israel. Gross received acceptance to the Y Combinator program in 2010. He was the youngest founder to be approved at the time. Gross introduced Greplin, thereafter known as Cue. As one of the “30 Under 30” in the “Pioneers in Technology” category, Forbes selected Gross in 2011. Gross was recognized by Business Insider as one of the “25 under 25” in Silicon Valley in 2012 and as one of the “30 under 30 Influential Young People in Tech” in 2014.
Gross constructed Andromeda, a mountain of state-of-the-art chips weighing 7,255 kg. and costing around $100 million (including energy and cooling), in 2023 with fellow investor Nat Friedman. The chips are interconnected to create a massive “compute cluster,” to which Friedman and Grossman swap access for shares in AI businesses they deem promising. Other venture capitalists are thinking about copying this strategy.
