Business Insider covered Raymond Zhao's path to Structured AI, from an early dream of becoming an architect, through a Goldman Sachs internship that left him cold, to co-founding the company with Issy Greenslade and Brandon Smith. The full circle detail: what drove Raymond away from architecture in the first place was the mountain of manual, repetitive documentation that consumed the senior architects he worked under. Structured AI exists to eliminate exactly that. After a first rejection from Y Combinator, the team sharpened their product, got into the F25 batch, and are now building the tools Raymond wishes had existed when he first fell in love with the built environment.
