Derek Wang is a cofounder of Stratifyd, where he’s focusing on the company’s vision to take data and AI democratization to the next level. The company’s goal is to empower business owners with individual AI assistants to automate their workflows. He grew up in Beijing and earned his PhD in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Shortly after, he—along with the company’s two other cofounders—began conducting government-funded research on the ways AI could be used to ingest, analyze, and visualize unstructured data. This postdoctorate work was the foundation Stratifyd was built on. As the company grows, Derek loves to give back to research community by offering opportunities to students and graduates, which helps foster entrepreneurship and grow the local tech community.
