Adrian Krebs: a portrait inside the open lid of a gold pocket watch whose dial counts his age

I'm a software engineer and co-founder of Kadoa, where we build the most reliable datasets for humans and agents in finance. AI is fundamentally changing how data gets sourced and used for investing, and we're shaping the tools this new era requires.

I'm years old and live in Switzerland. Growing up on a farm taught me to show up for hard work every day, think long term and fix things myself. I did an apprenticeship as a polytechnical mechanic before moving into software, and I still care about craftsmanship.

Being interested in engineering also gave me a passion for mechanical watches. It's fascinating to me how much technological innovation, craftsmanship, material science, come together in such a small space on our wrists.

As a founder, I've learned that great products are about more than code. They're collaborative efforts across engineering, design, and product thinking. I love iterating products to greatness with smart people.

Outside work, you'll find me in the Swiss Alps, reading, tinkering with side projects, or geeking out science, history, or engineering. I also love telling stories with data.
