Michael Fanous

Michael Fanous is Co-Founder and CEO of Nyne.ai, a data infrastructure startup building the intelligence layer that gives AI agents deep human context across a person's entire digital footprint.
Michael studied Computer Science and Data Science at UC Berkeley and went on to work as a machine learning engineer at CareRev, where he quickly made impactful contributions and earned recognition as a self-starter with rare technical depth.
Recognizing that AI agents operate with fragmented, siloed data, Michael identified the critical gap between what agents can do and what they actually know about the humans they serve, and set out to solve it.
Michael co-founded Nyne alongside his father Emad Fanous, a veteran CTO, combining his ML engineering expertise with enterprise-scale system architecture to build a people and business knowledge graph accessible via developer APIs.
Nyne raised $5.3M in seed funding led by Wischoff Ventures and South Park Commons, with angel backing from Gil Elbaz, the pioneer behind Google AdSense, validating the platform's potential to become the foundational context layer of the AI agent economy.
