S11 E20: The Death of the Black-Box Algorithm: Transitioning from Rigid Rules to Fully Autonomous, "Glass-Box" Contextual AI Pricing with Alex Halkin, Founder & CEO of Competera AI

Alex Halkin can't remember a time where he wasn't doing tech. Funny enough, he does remember a time before internet was common place. In 6th or 7th grade, he got a computer and immediately disassembled it.

Outside of tech, he has always been into sports - cycling, motorcycles, etc. And though he doesn't have much time for it anymore, he is big into Brazilian Jujitsu.At his old role, Alex started to pitch subscription pricing for their products.
