GPC Works

GPC Works started out as a regret minimization project. Stubborn ideas over the years plus the usual fleeting thoughts of “…why is this still not around…”, or “…there must be a better way to …”, or “… that is a good way to attack [xyz] problem …”, have recently culminated to the realization that a more structured approach would yield concrete answers rather than hunches.

We are at the very start of a new wave of technological innovation driven by new disruptive business models, big-data analytics, machine learning methodologies and a deepening technology adoption in both developed and emerging markets. Software has become the technological DNA of our increasingly connected society. The convergence of algorithmic innovation with easily accessible processing power and the exploding number of available datasets is an ideal launchpad for a new era of innovation driven by artificial intelligence.

A team oriented approach to experimental problem solving is the right way to go about it. The aim to is bring together a world class team of friends who are as enthusiastic as we are about attacking interesting and hard problems in novel ways.

There is no guaranteed path to success when one is pushing the boundaries. In fact, the only guarantee is that failure is part of the process. So we will be trying to iterate on projects as cheaply and fast as possible by building prototypes and getting quickly to a level where we can answer the right questions about effectiveness, traction and usability. At that point in time we will be looking for strategic partners to take the projects to the next level and beyond.

Jeff Bezos said : “Long on vision, short on detail” — couldn’t have said it better to summarize the plan.

Looking forward to the journey.
