Georg R. PollakI build agentic AI systems and the infrastructure underneath them.
MSc ETH Zürich, Computational Science and Engineering
α = 8.0° CL = 1.45Move across the plate to change α.
Five years of high-performance computing — teaching GPU programming at CSCS, benchmarking deep-learning frameworks, pushing Bayesian inference onto GPUs — now applied to LLM infrastructure and agentic systems in private equity.

Writing
All posts- 1 November 2026From IM to Indicative Offer: financial modeling from zeroEBITDA vs EBIT, enterprise vs equity value, and what actually gets filled into a deal sheet between receiving an information memorandum and sending an indicative offer — written for people who know math but not finance.
- 1 November 2026The LBO as a dynamical systemA leveraged buyout is a recurrence relation with three forcing terms. The entry equation, the debt schedule, the exit equation, and the value-creation bridge — derived instead of asserted, with a live model to drag.
