🚀 Day 18 of #ScaleBlack for #BlackHistoryMonth, meet Birago Jones, Co-Founder of Pienso, making AI accessible to all—not just engineers. AI is on track to become a $1.8 trillion industry by 2030, yet access to deep learning and model training has far too long been restricted to those with advanced technical skills and deep pockets. MIT alum Birago Jones, Co-Founder & CEO of Pienso, alongside Co-Founder Karthik Dinakar, recognized this gap—and decided it was time to change that. 🔹 With Pienso’s no-code AI platform, anyone—from journalists to healthcare professionals—can train and deploy AI models without writing a single line of code. It’s a game-changer for industries where domain expertise is critical, but coding skills are scarce, like Healthcare, Legal, and Education. 💹 Market Validation and Impact ✅ $10M in Series A funding, backed by Latimer Ventures, Gideon Capital, SRI, Uncork, and Good Growth Capital. ✅ Deploy on cloud or on-premise—pay only for models deployed, change models as often as needed. ✅Own your LLMs with full control and security—no reliance on Big Tech. ✅ Featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, and VentureBeat—proving that AI isn’t just for coders, but for anyone ready to harness its power. 🔥 #ScaleBlack is about breaking barriers and reclaiming innovation. Today, we celebrate Birago Jones for redefining who gets to build with AI—giving power back to the people who understand the problems, not just those who can code the solutions. 🔗 Discover how Pienso is making AI accessible for all at www.pienso.com. #ScaleBlack #Pienso #AI #NoCode #TechForAll #BlackExcellence #Innovation #LLM
