XLabs CEO and leadership

Radhika Dirks is an Advisor at dashboard.earth, Board Member at Hala Systems, and CEO & Co-founder at XLabs AI and is based in San Francisco, California. She has worked as CEO & Cofounder at Seldn.ai, Venture Investor at Shell, and Chief Operating Officer & Co-founder at Rotary Gallop. Radhika attended University of Illinois until 2010, Purdue University, and Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan.

Dr. Travis Dirks is CTO at XLabs, building moonshots powered by artificial intelligence (AI), quantum & neurotechnology. Prior to XLabs, Travis was co-founder and chief science officer of Seldn, an AI that could accurately predict rare global socio-economic disruptions in 12 countries. Travis led the team at Seldn to predict ‘black swans’ such as labor strikes, jumps in commodities & currencies, and societal riots four months before they happened with 95% accuracy. His superpower is in connecting complex science and math to challenging business problems and designing new software solutions with AI. Travis has pioneered several AI algorithms and new approaches to engineering moonshots and novel breakthroughs, including ‘Mental Model Arbitrage’. Prior to Seldn, Travis co-founded and led Rotary Gallop - a machine learning fintech firm that applied game theory to corporate control (for M&A, hostile takeover, and activist situations). Travis’s analyses and quotes have been heavily featured in popular media, including the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Travis received his PhD in Nanotechnology from the world’s leading institution for condensed matter physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and holds a B.S in physics from Purdue University.

Travis is also an accomplished Strongman, who bends steel with his bare hands. He is currently training to lift the legendary Dennie stones in Scotland.

Expertise: Artificial Intelligence, Building Scaled Next-gen Technology, Nanotechnology, Physics, Finance, & Mental Model Arbitrage

I empower the world's top entrepreneurs and accelerate their growth through effective corporate development and M&A. To date I have closed an aggregate of $500 million in M&A deals and am excited about what the future holds. Securities offered through Growth Capital Services a member of FINRA and SIPC.
