Meet the Humans
behind Gallium.
Gallium is rethinking the fundamental layer of modern marketing — building the first AI-native operating system that thinks in strategy, story, and performance from day one.
Mission
In the next decade, AI won't just automate tasks — it will change how marketing thinks. The scarcest resource won't be capital, code, or even attention.
It will be belief — the story people choose to believe about you.
Why it matters
As AI makes it trivial to ship “good enough” products and infinite content, the companies that win won't be the ones who build the most features or spam the most content. They'll be the ones who own the narrative of their category — consistently, coherently, and at scale.
Every company will have to operate like a media company: continuously telling a coherent, data-informed story across LinkedIn, X, TikTok, email, product, and beyond. The companies that understand this early will define the era.
The Team
A small, sharp team of builders turning ambitious ideas into production-grade AI that marketers rely on every day.
Jaisal Kothari
Co-Founder
- Stanford CS / AI — studied at the intersection of machine learning and product design
- Built Wispr Flow across platforms
“I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep. Every morning standup his Zoom background has this massive 8-foot whiteboard completely filled out — and it's different every single day. I still don't know when he does it.”
— Marcos
Akshat Sharma
Co-Founder
- UC Berkeley CS / Econ — combined technical depth with business intuition from day one
- Built and scaled a crowdfunding marketing platform at age 16
“He spends eight hours a day just talking to Gallium — literally teaching it how to think about marketing. The product is as good as it is because Akshat won't let it be anything less.”
— Vinicius
Vinicius Brown
Founding Software Engineer
- 8+ years of engineering experience building high-scale consumer products
- Previously at Pinterest, where he helped build systems serving hundreds of millions of users
“We gave him a two-month roadmap on his first week. He shipped it in twelve days and asked what was next. Pinterest-level craft at startup speed — I've never seen anything like it.”
— Jaisal
Jose Thomaz
Founding Data Engineer
- Senior data engineer with deep experience across Inventeer, Tractian, and Luby
- Specialist in turning messy, real-world sources into clean intelligence
“We had a data pipeline that everyone was afraid to touch. Jose rewrote the whole thing over a weekend — zero downtime, zero tickets. He treats reliability like a personal religion.”
— Carlos
Carlos Eduardo Libardo
Founding AI Engineer
- Two-time founder — previously built and led Voltbras and Shippit from the ground up
- Brings rare founder-engineer instincts to every technical decision
“He founded two companies before joining us. When I asked why he'd go back to being employee number three, he said he'd only do it if the problem was hard enough. This one was.”
— Akshat
Marcos Gritti
Founding Machine Learning Engineer
- 10+ years of machine learning experience spanning research and production
- Former professor who taught the next generation of ML engineers before building alongside them
“Every time I think I understand something about ML, Marcos casually explains why I'm only seeing half the picture. He has this way of making ten years of research experience feel obvious.”
— Jose
We're looking for
extremely ambitious humans.
A-players who move fast, take ownership, and push past “good enough.” People who care deeply about what they build and who they build it with.
