Sam Nadler [1:23]: So, please like new episodes out every Friday. And with that, I'd love to introduce our guest today, the cofounder and CEO of Vinci Hardik. Hardik, if you don't mind, give us a quick intro of who you are and what you're building.
Hardik Kabaria [1:38]: Well, first of all, thanks for having me. My name is Hardik. My technical background is in physics and geometry software. I've been in this space now twelve plus years. Did my PhD in the space and worked at other startups, but then realized that this is a great time to be in the building mode. So jumped off the boat two and a half years ago started Vinci. And our mission is to make physics accessible for everybody building hardware. Whether you are designing bottle caps or semiconductors or electronics, racks in the data center, you care about its physical performance. The moment you start designing, you care about how is this part going to behave and that basically guides your journey from your conceptualization to production. And that's the place we are deploying our software. We make physics analysis accessible to anybody who's building hardware at compute capacity. Sort of the same thing that language models have done and created language reasoning capabilities for everybody. Today to get language reasoning capability you don't have to be an AI researcher, you just need a phone, open ChatGPT or Anthropic and ask a question to get an answer. We are building the same for physics, and we started deploying for semiconductor electronics customers, and we'll tell you more about it. But that's who we are, and that's what we are building.
