Founder

Chengxi Taylor is a London-based technologist and founder working where AI, poetic systems, and human intuition meet. Her work makes complex technologies feel accessible and emotionally alive.

Born near the mountains of Tibet, Chengxi’s early sense of the world was shaped by a deep connection to nature, language, and systems that exist beyond the visible. After seven years in New York, where she worked in finance and earned her CFA, she completed an MBA at Oxford, exploring how deep tech could be built with ethical intention.

Over the past eight years, Chengxi has helped build a series of early-stage ventures, many of them experimental, each revealing something about what it means to create with care:

• Satori, a large-format 3D printer designed to make advanced prototyping more accessible in medicine and engineering

• Miiji, a high-fidelity facial expression tracking system built beyond the constraints of existing hardware

• Kirin, which developed text-to-3D diffusion models allowing language to take physical form

• MyMiniFactory, where she served as CEO of one of the largest platforms for guaranteed 3D printable objects

• L’Essayeur, a personal jewelry brand featured in Vogue and debuted at London Fashion Week

These earlier ventures became iterative foundations, refining the vision she now pursues through General Reasoning, a new AI startup focused on reinforcement learning and agent environments. Her ambition is to build universal artificial intelligence.

For Chengxi, innovation isn’t only about building faster. It’s about asking better questions
