Jennifer Li celebrated a "full circle moment": she started working with Scott Wu and Vincent Novakovski back in March 2019 on Lunchclub, the AI networking startup — which has now been bought back by Devin (Cognition).
"Only took 7 years" to reunite, she notes. It's an unusual AI-industry reunion, with Wu now leading Cognition after founding Lunchclub.
