In their words
Your AI spend becomes accountable labor: every AI worker gets a job, persistent context, a budget, guardrails, and outcomes you can measure. Tenor deploys AI inside businesses to run entire jobs across their existing tools, not isolated tasks. Companies define the outcomes and KPIs; every result improves how the worker makes decisions over time.
What the record says
Co-Founder @ Tenor. Building accountable AI workers that connect business outcomes to token spend, so companies can measure ROI and scale what works. As President of TUM.ai, he scaled it into Europe's largest student-led AI initiative. Spent his university years at TUM and CDTM working at venture-backed startups to apply those learnings to a company of his own.

Is this you?
If you're behind Tenor: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
