About your story (and us)
Your Story and Keynum
The world of AI and data science is full of opportunities. And it can also seem so confusing: every day there’s a new AI fad. Engineers and quants are raving about the latest Gen AI, LLM, LSTM, XgBoost, Transformers and what not. Your friends are sprinkling their conversations with similar buzzwords. But all this techie jargon doesn’t make sense.
We hear you!
Shouldn’t there be somebody who makes stuff clear? Who’s a sparring partner and willing to guide you? In whom you can trust to call out bullshit? Who will bridge the gap between your engineers, your quants, your buzzwordy friends and your sanity?
That’s where we come in!
So… Hi! We are Keynum. We’d like to be your trusted guide on your datascience journey. We help you 10X your data science investment. If you want, our team can take care of everything. Or we can just be a project facilitator. It’s your journey! You choose!
About You
You are an innovator, an overachiever. Constantly pushing your company forward. Eager to unlock the value of your data, boost revenue, change your world. In short: you are a hero!
And… you are also very busy.
If that’s the case…
Our Mission
We believe that every business and every executive deserves access to the best AI methods. We’re the Data Science Sherpas, and our mission is to lead you to the insights you need with 1/10th of the time and money.
If you need the impact of data science, without confusion, complexity and over-dimensioned budgets, then…
How We Help
There’s tremendous value in your data. We help you unlock this value and make you stand out as a wise value creator with foresight and knowledge. An innovator everybody loves!
We can’t do that alone, of course. We will need you to show up! If we work together magic will happen.
Together, we can 10X your data science ROI, your efficiency, and your stakeholders’ satisfaction. You will become everyone’s favorite value creator, a thought leader, everybody respects.
Well, ok, we could add that our founder has over 20 years of experience in helping clients succeed at their data science projects, and that our team has combined experience of hundreds of years.
It also doesn’t hurt that we keep close ties with academia, living at the pulse of the state-of-the-art. And this is particularly useful to call out bullshit.
Of course, we could mention all that and many more credentials. But what really counts: a trustworthy relationship at eye level, sharing and caring for each other.
If that’s your vision, too:
Management
At Keynum, we believe in doing things that don’t scale. Yes, you heard that right! We purposely keep a small pool of clients that allows us to add the most value to the most exciting projects. If you allow us to be your guide, you will work closely with one of our executives, Hans, Bao, Michael, and Giang.
