Comet is an AI developer platform that helps machine learning and AI teams track, evaluate, monitor, and manage models across their full lifecycle - from training experiments to production LLM and agentic applications. Founded in 2017 by Gideon Mendels and Nimrod Lahav, the New York-based company built its reputation on experiment tracking ('GitHub for machine learning') and now extends that into the generative-AI era with Opik, its open-source LLM observability and evaluation platform.
Jeff Wang is the CEO of Windsurf, an AI-powered coding assistant that was acquired by Cognition (makers of Devin) in July 2025. Previously Windsurf's Head of Business, Jeff stepped into the CEO role during a chaotic week in which the company's founders departed to Google and a $3B OpenAI acquisition fell through. Working through a single frantic weekend, he negotiated a new deal with Cognition that protected all 250 employees. A former engineer who detoured through Cisco and Salesforce before betting his career on early-stage AI startups, Jeff is also a General Partner at RNR Capital and co-founder of RocketFuel Education.
