Conference 2026
Panel: Why AI Still Doesn’t Work (and What It Will Take to Fix It)
Noah Hollmann is the Co-founder and CTO of Prior Labs, an AI company building foundation models for tabular data — the dominant data type in science, medicine, and enterprise decision-making. The company's flagship model, TabPFN, is the first foundation model for structured data, published as a cover story in Nature in 2025. TabPFN has surpassed 2.5 million downloads and achieved state-of-the-art results on independent benchmarks. Founded in December 2024, Prior Labs has raised more than €9M in pre-seed funding led by Balderton Capital, with advisors including Bernhard Schölkopf and Yann LeCun. The company deploys its technology across industrial analytics with Hitachi, clinical analytics with Oxford Cancer Analytics, and financial modeling. Noah studied Computer Science at ETH Zurich and Tsinghua University, worked in applied AI at Google and BCG, and pursued an MD/PhD at Charité Berlin at the intersection of precision medicine and machine learning — where he recognized the critical gap in AI for structured data and founded Prior Labs to close it.
