Frontier AI Speed with Real Talk on Security
Speaker

Matt Greenberg is CTO at Handshake, leading ~200 engineers across the largest professional network for Gen Z, a recruiting product, and Handshake AI, a human data business supplying frontier labs with expert-labeled training data. That puts Handshake on both sides of the AI economy — building for the labs while running agents hard inside its own stack. Matt previously served as CTO at Reforge and VP of Engineering at both Credit Karma and CoSo Cloud.
SUMMARY
Most companies resolve the tension between AI usefulness and data risk by locking the data down, quietly killing the use case. Handshake couldn't: it supplies training data to frontier labs moving at an insane speed while running agents across its own stack. Matt walks through the internal products they're building (Mordor, Heimdall, Charon, Tartarus, and Citadel) that make both possible — column-level masking so models query broadly without broad exposure, a single surface where risky agent actions stage for human approval, a proxy metering every model call that turns the cost record into a training corpus, and two forms of sandboxing for safe agent code execution.
