SF THINKERS
What’s in our Name?
Our name, SF Thinkers, was developed with the help of GenerativeAI. It reflects the fact that we are SF Bay Area based and have worked with and been heavily influenced by some of best thinkers who started their companies in the San Francisco area (e.g. Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Marc Benioff). “SF” also happens to stand for “Seley” and “Franklin”, our surnames.
