I'm Linzzi Ji, co-founder of Benchology. We benchmark B2B data providers, so a team can see which one actually covers the people it sells to before it signs a contract. I spend most of my time with buyers: GTM engineers and operators who have spent weeks building their own checks on provider data. I also build our internal systems, including the tools that write and track our outreach. Before Benchology I built a robotic dog companion at the National University of Singapore and, with Tsinghua University, an AI mental-health chatbot that reached 300+ users. I study computer systems at Purdue, on a gap semester, and live in San Francisco.
