About
· …
I'm a senior product manager at Clockwork Systems, where I lead product for inference. We build software that keeps GPU clusters doing useful work across AI training, RL, and inference. Before joining Clockwork, I was an investor at Adams Street Partners and later Premji Invest, where I had the pleasure of backing a wide range of infrastructure software startups.
Alongside product, I'm an active angel investor and aim to be a useful thought partner to (mostly) infra founders. I've been fortunate enough to have written early checks into amazing companies such as Catalyst.app, Convergent.dev, Melius, PeakInfra and a few more still in stealth.
If you're a builder working on anything in infrastructure or AI, or just want to jam on an idea, I'd love to hear from you. Reach out at aidan@thepaks.com.
