Symbolica is an AI research lab pioneering the application of category theory to enable logical reasoning in machines. Our mission is to bridge the gap between theoretical mathematics and cutting-edge AI, creating powerful symbolic reasoning models that think like humans – precise, logical, and interpretable. While others focus on scaling data-hungry neural networks, we’re building AI that understands the structures of thought, not just patterns in data.

We envision a future where AI systems possess the clarity and rigor of mathematical thought, capable of solving the most complex problems in science and engineering.

Founded in 2022, Symbolica has recently raised over $30M from Khosla, General Catalyst, Buckley Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Day One Ventures, and other prominent Silicon Valley venture capital firms, to advance machine reasoning. We’re a well-resourced, nimble team of experts dedicated to solving challenging problems at the intersection of mathematics, logic, and computation, delivering exceptional AI capabilities.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
