Quick answers
Did Anthony Lee co-found Lydia AI?
Yes, under the company's earlier name. BetaKit reported on November 13, 2018 on the company's $5-million Series A and quoted "Anthony Lee, co-founder and CEO at Knowtions," and TechStartups wrote the same day that the company was "Founded in 2013 by Anthony Lee, Christina Cai, Fedor Suprychev, and Kresimir Bojcic." After the rebrand, BetaKit described the company on October 19, 2021 as "Founded in 2014 by Cai and CEO Anthony Lee."
What does Anthony Lee do now?
No page dated 2025 or 2026 could be found stating his current role, and Lydia AI's own About page, checked on September 22, 2026, names no executives. The most recent confirmation is a SparkLabs Taiwan podcast write-up dated January 16, 2024, which introduces him as Lydia AI's co-founder and chief executive; Hive Life had described him the same way on January 6, 2023.
What is Lydia AI?
Lydia AI is a Toronto company that began as Knowtions Research. BetaKit reported on October 19, 2021 that it had built "a deep learning-based risk scoring engine trained on health data that generates health benchmarks for insurers," aimed at the Asia-Pacific market, and that it had raised $10 million CAD after a 2018 Series A. Its own website, checked on September 22, 2026, now leads with ORCA, an operational-intelligence product it says is deployed across legal, logistics and content work.
What did Anthony Lee do before Lydia AI?
He started the company straight out of university. In a Hive Life interview published January 6, 2023, Lee said "I graduated from the University of Toronto, which was where I met my co-founder, Christina Cai, and we came out of school to start Lydia AI." The same article says he launched Knowtions Research in Toronto alongside Cai.
