About the Team
NotCo AI has offices in Santiago and San Francisco, so all our communications are in English and we juggle the two time zones. We are a top-performing team of professionals from universities such as Stanford, UCLA, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Católica, and more.
NotCo AI has been developing cutting-edge AI for the food industry since the very start. However, we started as an internal tools team, allowing us to experiment with wild ideas with a fixed and collaborative user base.
We have since pivoted from that. We have externalized our technology to other companies, including SaaS offerings. This has brought on a different level of pressure, but one that we’re ready to take on!
The million-dollar question: Are you hungry to change the world? Because there are plenty of reasons to make the decision and say: WHY NOT!
Today you can start making a difference for the planet, without changing everything you love.
