Cris Lenta

Founder of an AI-native gaming company - we build an open-world life simulator with emergent worlds. Backed by Founders Inc (San Francisco), and Paul Bragiel (Roblox, Unity, Uber, Niantic, Supercell).

Previously:
  • First startup got acqui-hired. Largest customer was top 15 globally in the industry. Dropped out of my masters to build it.
  • Co-author of 2 AI research papers (MIT Press/Artificial Life Journal, IEEE Xplore). We investigated how neural networks can self-replicate through backpropagation - lead authors Thomas Gabor and Steffen Illium.
  • LMU Munich (#1 Germany) undergrad in CS & Statistics.
  • I dance a lot & used to meditate 8h/day.

  • Three things I believe are true:
  • The future of humanity will be asymmetrically influenced by two main pillars: technology & inner work. I love being at the cutting edge of both.
  • Dream big. Act small. Be humble. Dedicate your life to making dreams real.
  • I am an idealist and an optimist, because the need to know is bigger than our ego.
