Mike Hudson

Overview

Mike runs the Mike Hudson Foundation, a nonprofit AI donor fund, and is an honorary Senior Visiting Research Fellow at City St Georges, University of London. He is the founder of Knowbot, several innovative fintech businesses and Testramp, a Covid nonprofit marketplace.

MHF helps nonprofits use AI, with a focus on scientific research, biodiversity and conservation.

In response to the Covid pandemic, in 2020 Mike set up TestRAMP, a nonprofit PCR//genomic sequencing facility which provided more efficient and cheaper access to lab testing.

As a fintech entrepreneur, Mike established the pioneering derivatives exchange tech companies Cscreen and Baymarkets, which he later sold to major global stock exchanges. He now manages MHF as a nonprofit, and invests in AI and new electronic marketplaces.

Mike believes that both AI and market technology can be powerful tools for social good. 

A Foundation Fellow at St. Antony's College, University of Oxford, Mike is also a fellow of ZSL and advisor to its CEO. He has written and presented on AI, market structure, and derivatives theory. He lives in London with his partner Sabina and several dogs.
