Ramy has spent his career oscillating between building products and backing the next generation of founders doing the same.
He started as one of the earliest engineers at Tellme Networks—a voice AI company building conversational interfaces back when Markov models still outperformed neural networks—where he led enterprise engineering through its acquisition by Microsoft for $800M. He then founded Snipit, an early content-curation startup acquired by Yahoo, where he went on to lead product and relaunched Yahoo's media properties on mobile while introducing native advertising at scale.
Ramy began his investing career at Khosla Ventures, working closely with Vinod Khosla on early bets including GroupMe (acquired by Skype), Square (NYSE: SQ), and Ness (acquired by OpenTable), one of the first machine learning-powered recommendation engines.
He holds patents in voice recognition and code automation, a BA and MS in Computer Science from Harvard, and an MBA from Stanford.
