Hi! I’m Nimendra, founder of Gem Intel, an AI-powered gemstone analysis platform that uses Raman and FTIR spectroscopy to identify and grade gemstones, including predicting changes after heat treatment. We’re also building a tailored POS system for gem brokers and labs in Sri Lanka.
I’m a full-stack developer and AI researcher with a background in data science and spectroscopy. Gem Intel is currently partnered with the National Gem & Jewellery Authority (NGJA) in Sri Lanka and running pilot programs with labs and traders.
I’m looking for a committed co-founder who can either:
Drive fundraising, business strategy, and growth, or
Lead application development and manage technical teams as we scale the product
The project is full-time and currently bootstrapped. I'm open to offering ~10% equity based on value and commitment. You don’t need gem industry experience—just curiosity, hustle, and belief in deep tech for real-world impact.
Let’s build something globally powerful from an emerging market.
