ABOUT US

We believe in…

OUR COMPANY

Bondzai provides high-tech equipment manufacturers with a reliable AI software product, continuously learning from live data and generating best-in-class AI models. It is a real alternative to traditional, expensive, and non-scalable AI solutions. Customers should be aware that working with Bondzai is a less risky and more scalable solution, making their Edge / Endpoint equipment more secure. The Bondzai solution will be cost effective compared to an in-house solution.

Bondzai was created as a SAS company owned by its main founders.

Alain FANET

In 2018, after having succeeded in his High-Tech projects and on the strength of his industrial experience in the fields of IoT, Alain decided to investigate the next emerging wave of smart objects (AIoT). Not convinced by the current AI approaches, he is looking for a breakthrough idea. The same year, he met with Bijan Mohammadi who, after spending years dissecting the problems of AI algorithms, was able to rethink the mathematics to invent a simple new approach to deep learning AI. Over the past 3 years, they are joining forces to converge on a new value proposition for AIoT.

Results oriented with successful exits for his high-tech startups and decisive leader with demonstrated expertise in managing growth and P&L optimization in startups and in complex environment and situations. Win-Win solutions strategist and a ‘big picture’ visionary with a global business acumen, adept at implementing integrated marketing solutions from concept to actualization. Alain earned his PHD in Computer Science from ENST (ParisTech).

Bijan MOHAMMADI

Feedbacks from his industrial partners convinced Bijan industrial demands in Deep Learning modelling cannot be met by available solutions. In 2018, after inventing a new Deep Learning algorithm and developping an automatic model generator code prototype for embedded Deep Learning, Bijan partnered with Alain to build Bondzai, a company addressing AIoT through zero-dataset and offline learning paradigm shifts with respect to conventional Deep Learning solutions.

Jean-Michel LINOTTE

Jean-Michel is an experienced “off-road” engineer in algorithms for embedded systems with a large knowledge on target platforms. He has started his career as DSP engineer in an emerging start-up, SENSITIVE OBJECTS and evolved to technical and team leader in various domains like IoT, RFID or BI, dealing with smallest microprocessors and power-full edge servers. On all his projects, Jean-Michel has also been in direct contact with the partnerships (production in Chine, co-development with USA) and customers (like on-site IoT deployments).
In 2019, the new challenge brought by Alain, mixing all his favorite domains, sensors, embedded devices, AI in a start-up environment, decided him to switch from Innovation Lab Leader to Principal Engineer in Bondzai.
Jean-Michel shares all Bondzai’s key value propositions, very sensitive to resources rationalization, personalized product and data privacy.

Familiar with edge computing technologies as well as real-time embedded implementation, Jean-Michel will take the best of both to realize Bondzai’s Products.
Very “product” oriented by his experiences, with a large culture in signal and image processing, Jean-Michel will use all his knowledges to leverage all the Bondzai technical challenges.

Julien DELSUC

In late 2021, after 2 years as CTO of Nabuu, an e-commerce solution for privacy protection, convinced by both a solid team and 5 years ahead of competition technology, Julien decided to join Bondzai as CTO. Julien shares with Bondzai team the same purpose of streamlining IoT product introduction and adoption thanks to an embedded AI that trains on-board and thus, adapts to users and any real life context.

Thanks to his wide technical knowledge, and experience in mass product introduction, Julien will drive the technical choices of Bondzai R&D and adapt them to real market needs. He will put his experience in design thinking and lean startup methodology at the service of CEO in order to find the correct product market fit.
