What Rami Alhamad is working on right now: Alma, Antler, Mila, CIGI, and Action Potential.

Updated for 2026.

What I'm actively working on

  • Alma — Co-Founder & CEO. AI-powered nutrition coaching. iOS-first. Most weeks I'm somewhere between product, engineering, growth, and the daily operating loop.
  • Antler Canada — Venture Partner. Meeting and supporting Canadian founders during Antler's residency program.
  • Mila — Founder in Residence at the Quebec AI Institute. Translating research into shipped products.
  • CIGI — Builder-side voice on Canadian AI policy.
  • Invest Ottawa — Advisor, AI Tinkerers Ottawa organizer.

Writing focus right now

Recent essays at Action Potential trace a few threads:

  • Repo-shaped work. What happens when finance, marketing, and product start behaving like engineering — versioned, reviewed, reversible.
  • Canadian AI policy. Two pieces argue for a Sovereign Intelligence Fund and a Canada Strong Fund startup-of-funds anchored by the Maple Eight.
  • Autonomous systems. Five Python daemons and headless Claude Code keeping Alma's production healthy with zero on-call pages.

What I'd like to talk to people about

  • Founders working on consumer AI in Canada.
  • Pension fund LPs who want to actually deploy into Canadian VC.
  • Engineering teams shipping LLM features into existing products.
  • Anyone working on the public-policy side of AI in Canada.
