The Team

Built by people who understand what's at stake.

QA²I didn't start with a pitch deck or a team of strangers who met at a networking event. Alexandre is Ivan's son, and he grew up hearing about regulatory compliance and quality assurance at the dinner table years before any of it made sense to him. Max was Ivan's student at KLU, and the two first worked together on Max's bachelor thesis, which looked at how AI could be applied to regulatory compliance. That thesis ended up being more than a school project. It was the first version of the idea the three of them are now building a company around.
