Ty Grupel
Hi, I'm Ty Grupel. I'm a crypto-native system architect and startup founder. I currently work at Helfie.ai, an AI healthcare startup that aspires to diagnose 95% of human diseases using only smartphone sensors.
Previously, I was a chemical engineer that specialised in bio-polymers.
I'm interested in ideas that seed new institutions: new technical, social, and economic infrastructure that unlocks global bottlenecks. I like having brilliant, ambitious people rub off on me.
