Jakub Cichon is a software engineer and entrepreneur based in the United States.

Fixpoint was part of Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch.[1]
Career
Cichon began his career as a software engineer intern at FactSet in 2012, subsequently working there as a software engineer from 2013 to 2015. He then served as lead backend engineer at Often from 2015 to 2016. From 2016 to 2021, Cichon worked at Oscar Health, initially as a software engineer and later as a senior software engineer.[2]
In 2022, Cichon co-founded Capix, which participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2022 batch. He served as co-founder of Capix from 2022 to 2023. In 2023, he co-founded Fixpoint alongside Dylan Mikus, taking on the role of CTO.[3]
Fixpoint operates as what the company describes as "Uber for AI trainers and human-in-the-loop supervisors." The platform connects AI data companies with networks of pre-vetted domain experts — including professionals in law, medicine, software engineering, STEM fields, and linguistics — who perform data annotation and evaluation tasks used to train AI models. The company offers two primary services: a white-glove expert staffing service that can assemble teams of hundreds of qualified annotators within weeks, and a Worker Vetting API that automates candidate screening and fraud detection.[4]
According to the company, the traditional process of staffing people for AI training data and evaluation projects was highly manual. Fixpoint uses AI-driven automation to handle sourcing, vetting, annotator management, and payroll, aiming to make the process faster and less expensive. The platform is categorized in the artificial intelligence, machine learning, marketplace, B2B, and recruiting sectors.[5]
