Modulate

Mike and Carter met at MIT when Mike cracked a physics problem Carter was whiteboarding in a hallway. Fast friends, the two shared a passion for understanding how computers shape the way we interact with each other, and spent their later college years prototyping startups together on the side of their research into dark matter and cosmic expansion.

Carter, CTO, leads Modulate’s research, applying his expertise in optimized AI to deliver 1000x improvements in cost and performance compared to other leading AI models. After MIT, Carter went on to NASA’s Jet Propulsion lab, building machine learning models optimized to fly on spacecraft, where in his nonexistent free time he also managed to prototype a new kind of voice-based AI, which would evolve into Modulate. While in high school, Carter conducted novel research simulating the observable consequences of various dark matter candidate theories and represented the US in scientific research competition.

Mike, CEO, is Modulate’s primary thought leader, working with Fortune 500 companies to shape the way they implement AI, as well as regulators - Mike serves on a number of working groups and regularly speaks in D.C. before members of Congress alongside representatives from OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, X, Riot Games, and more. Previously, Mike worked on cloud security at Bridgewater Associates.
