Conor Burke

Straight up, let me put you on to Conor Burke, this guy’s the real deal in the startup world. So, he’s a YC alum from S18, which is already a big badge, right? But what’s crazy is his process. He’s from Ireland, grew up there, and studied electronic engineering at UCD. Dude’s basically a tech nerd with a brain for data and AI. He’s been deep into research at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, that’s where he cut his teeth on heavy data stuff.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Conor’s not just some guy in a lab, he’s a builder. He co-founded Inscribe with his twin brother, Ronan, and these guys jumped into the fintech world to fight one of the biggest bullshit problems out there: document fraud. You know how banks and fintechs get swamped with manual reviews, risk management chaos? Yeah, they saw that pain and decided to do something about it. So they built Inscribe, an AI-powered tool that’s crushing fraud detection. And holy shit, it worked. They raised $25 million in just six weeks, that’s nuts, and got featured everywhere, from TechCrunch to Forbes. Conor’s even been recognized in Forbes’ ’30 Under 30 Europe’, that’s no joke.

What’s dope about him? He’s super driven, obviously. He saw a problem, and instead of whining about it, he built a solution. He’s been part of YC, so he’s got that hustle and validation from the top startup incubator. And he’s not just sitting in Ireland, he’s split his time between San Francisco and Europe, building global stuff. Speaking at industry events, getting featured in all the big names, he’s becoming a go-to voice in AI and fintech fraud fighting.

Bottom line: Conor’s the guy who took his passion for data and tech, saw a real pain in the finance world, and built something that’s making a difference. He’s proof that when you combine smarts, guts, and a brotherly bond, you can really shake things up. No Cap, this guy’s just getting started, and it’s gonna be exciting to see where he takes it next.
