Technology revolutionized the digital world. The physical world is next.
MEET THE TEAM
We're engineers obsessed with atoms over bits.
Megha spent five years leading cutting-edge AI efforts at Google across Gemini, ChromeOS, and TensorFlow. She launched state-of-the-art vision and language models into production across core Google products, and built everything from browser-controlling agents to AI systems embedded directly into the OS. She founded a partnership between Google and the Australian government to develop computer-vision tracking systems for invasive underwater species, work she later presented in the 2022 Google I/O Keynote.
Grace grew up in Kansas competing in math, but quickly realized theory falls short in the wild. At Google X, she developed the first system to recognize individual fish in the ocean. But one day, a suckerfish occluded the lens; that's when she realized the scope extended well beyond perception. She went on to build end-to-end systems that ran from calibration, through perception, to actually feeding the fish. Later, she built and led the engineering team for a supply chain moonshot, designing systems to make decisions under high uncertainty, conflicting incentives, and incomplete information.
OUR STORY
We met at Stanford and connected over a question: why are the systems that move physical goods around the world still run like it's 1995? We talked to hundreds of operators across industries. The answer was always the same: spreadsheets, emails, and daily fire drills. Not because people aren't smart, but because the problem is genuinely hard. Every decision depends on timing, local incentives, and incomplete information. Every mistake compounds. And as global volatility increases, these systems are breaking.
The world needs supply chains that adapt as fast as conditions change. That's why we dropped out of Stanford to build Mercator. This is just the beginning, and we're looking for scrappy, audacious, interdisciplinary teammates to help reshape how the world makes and moves things.
