Career
Background
Prior to founding Truthsystems, Mac held research-oriented roles at Stanford Law School, the University of Warsaw, and the Viettel Cyberspace Center, where her work involved data analysis and investigation.[2] The specific years of these appointments, her role titles, and the institution that granted her undergraduate degree have not been confirmed in publicly available independent sources.
Truthsystems
Mac co-founded Truthsystems, which the company describes as "a programmatic governance and unified compliance agent." The platform monitors and flags non-compliant AI usage in real time across an organization's vendors, operating directly within the user's web browser. It is aimed at enterprises and institutions seeking to manage the risks arising from the growing adoption of AI tools by employees and third-party vendors. As AI usage has expanded rapidly across industries, organizations have faced mounting pressure to ensure that employee and vendor interactions with AI systems comply with internal policies, data privacy regulations, and sector-specific legal requirements. Truthsystems positions itself as an automated layer of oversight that addresses that compliance gap without requiring manual audits.[3]
The company has received backing from Y Combinator, Pear VC, and the LegalTech Fund. No independent funding figures have been disclosed in publicly available sources as of early 2026, and the investment relationships with Pear VC and the LegalTech Fund are reported on the basis of the company's own website. According to that same source, Truthsystems' clients and partners include established companies and academic institutions, with Stanford Law School and UCLA listed among organizations that have engaged with the platform; these claims have not been independently verified in third-party reporting.[4]
As of March 2026, Truthsystems was actively hiring for engineering roles in San Francisco, with job postings listing salaries in the range of $200,000 to $250,000 and equity compensation of 0.30% to 3.00% for founding full-stack engineers. These figures reflect point-in-time postings and may have changed subsequently. The company's technology stack includes Next.js, Python, React, and TypeScript.[5]
