Founded by Jesse Hu, Ke Huang & Meji Abidoye

Who the founders are

Jesse, Ke, and Meji are experts in AI, bringing deep experience from leading companies. Jesse built planning systems for autonomous vehicles at Waymo, where the team demonstrated that combining human teleoperations with autonomous agents could reduce collisions by 85% while enabling full-scale deployment. Ke scaled content classification systems with human labelers at YouTube's 2.5B user scale and led compliance engineering at Brex. Meji architected EC2 instance provisioning infrastructure at AWS and has scaled hiring at previous startups.

Why Abundant Was Built

After working with hundreds of AI agent builders across several industries, the founders observed a critical pattern: demos are easy, but production applications are hard. Agents perform well in a constrained environment, but fail unexpectedly in the wild, making them unreliable for production use.

This problem is especially acute in regulated industries. Healthcare companies need 99.99% accuracy for patient safety. You can’t risk hallucination in Legal or Financial services. Agents just cannot meet these requirements alone.

What's worse, companies are forced to choose between two bad options:

  • Maintain large, expensive in-house operations teams
  • Ship unreliable AI features and risk customer trust

Abundant was built to solve this. Their trained human workforce steps in exactly when your AI needs help, enabling you to meet strict quality requirements while scaling efficiently.
