Company leader
Martin Raison
Co-founder and CTO
Nabla
Martin Raison is co-founder and chief technology officer of Nabla. He builds the software that listens to a visit and writes the chart, after a decade on conversational tools at Wit.ai and at Meta.
Wit.ai and Meta
He graduated from École Polytechnique and earned a master's degree in computer science from Stanford University. He then joined Wit.ai, Alex Lebrun's startup, to help developers build software that understands ordinary language. After Meta acquired Wit.ai, he carried that work onto Messenger, then worked at Meta AI Research on chatbot foundations and on natural language tools in PyTorch. "We found ourselves at the epicenter of the neural network revolution," he said of those years. He left Meta in 2018.
Co-founding Nabla in Paris
He co-founded Nabla that year with Alex Lebrun and Delphine Groll. The company started in Paris, France, and he has worked with Lebrun since Wit.ai. "We felt pretty passionate about healthcare because it's so important to our society, yet the tools used by clinicians haven't evolved as fast as the rest of the software industry did," he said. Nabla listens to a clinical conversation and writes the note so the clinician can stay with the patient.
