I build marketplaces,
AI products, and
founder communities.
I’m Adam Alpert — applied AI engineer, founder, and MIT Sloan MBA. I started a company in a dorm room, took it through Y Combinator, and I’ve been building at the intersection of technology and human connection ever since.
Where my time and energy actually goes.
Pangea.app
The first AI-native staffing platform for fractional creative, marketing, and growth talent. Built from a Brown dorm room through YC to a profitable marketplace operating in 150+ countries.
Founder communities
Curated IRL networks in NYC and Cambridge — intimate dinners, real collisions, and a custom platform I built from scratch. NYC has grown to 5,000+ in network with ~50 paid members.
MIT Sloan
Deep in agentic AI — building experimental platforms around agentic CRMs, memory systems, and agent-to-agent interactions. On the MIT $100K leadership team and bridging Sloan with the Media Lab.
What I believe, mostly without flinching.
Writing on marketplaces, communities, and building.
If you’re building something ambitious, let’s talk.
Marketplaces, AI-native products, founder communities, hiring, fundraising. Or just to compare notes. I read every email.
