David Yang: Emotion AI and Going Global

Having founded — and led to success — a number of successful startups and GSD Venture Studios, the show will revolve around interviews with thought leaders, bringing them together to speak about trends and directions in global technology and AI.   

And the first episode will offer a peek into the future of Emotion AI and Going Global, featuring AI serial entrepreneur, Dr. David Yang, CEO and Co-Founder of Yva.ai and Founder of ABBYY.  

Based in Silicon Valley, David is a member of the Band of Angels and has the most captivating journey that brought him to where he is today. He started his first company, ABBYY, back in 1989 when he was in his 4th year as a student at MIPT. The company became a global success over years — today, ABBYY has over 1,000 employees and is a leading developer of Artificial Intelligence, Content Intelligence, Optical Character Recognition, and Text Analytics software with offices in 11 countries. Thousands of companies and more than 50 million users in 200 countries rely on ABBYY applications and solutions.  

David has become a leading authority of the use of AI for employee engagement — his current company, Yva.ai, explores new applications of machine learning and AI to revolutionize employee engagement, happiness and productivity in the current context of global companies, remote teams, and increased need for solutions to accommodate the changing landscape of business and people operations.

About GSD Venture Studios:

We travel the world investing in resilient teams bold enough to #GoGlobal.

For too long self-motivated entrepreneurs have navigated the minefield of challenges to launching a global company with very little support. The last thing you should bet on in this situation is an unproven team that you don’t trust. GSD Venture Studios travels to every corner of the globe inviting resilient teams to establish partnerships that ensure organizations grow the right way, without games or gimmicks. Unlike traditional investors, we take senior operational (often co-founder) roles in these companies, capitalizing on our trusted reputation, experiences, and network to drive explosive growth.
