About Factored
Factored operates as a strategic talent partner for companies seeking to build and scale high-caliber teams in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. Founded in 2019 by CEO Israel Niezen, with world-renowned AI expert Andrew Ng as a co-founding advisor, the company was established to address the significant global shortage of qualified engineers in these specialized fields. Based in Palo Alto, California, Factored emerged from a hypothesis within Andrew Ng's AI Fund, combining Niezen's business background, including an MBA from Harvard, and his passion for leveraging technology to create opportunities in Latin America.
