I’m Heiki, endlessly curious about the world, trying to make it better one bit at a time.

Hey y'all! I’m Heiki, a former deep learning researcher, turned into a full-time builder, keeping myself occupied solving problems across different verticals. Right now, I’m building Rivendell, on a mission to bring free preventive care to all Americans.

In addition to building companies, I have spent time as an investor at Lightbird VC, investing mostly into developer infrastructure and verticalized AI agents companies. Before the startups and VC world, I spent time in investment banking and as a product manager at Google.

Despite being a total nerd, I get hyped being around eccentric people. Having six back-to-back meetings on a Saturday makes me excited. When I am not meeting new people, I like spending time reading and writing about random topics and writing essays to collect my thoughts on everything ranging from macroeconomics to longevity.
