Dan Herbatschek is an American applied mathematician, technology executive, and writer. He is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ramsey Theory Group, a privately held technology holding and innovation firm headquartered in New York with operations in Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Paris, France.[1] Under his leadership, the firm develops artificial intelligence systems, cybersecurity infrastructure, enterprise software platforms, and SaaS products across healthcare, logistics, automotive, entertainment marketing, and digital commerce.[2]

Herbatschek is also known for his writing on the philosophy of science, epistemology, and the history of mathematics, and for founding the Dan Herbatschek Scholarship for students from underrepresented backgrounds pursuing mathematics and machine learning.[3]

His book, The Predictive Present, explores the interconnected histories of language, time, and information, tracing how humanity’s efforts to construct formal languages and measure time gave rise to the information architectures that now power artificial intelligence and enterprise systems.

Education

Herbatschek graduated from Columbia University in New York, Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa. He studied Mathematics, Philosophy, and Intellectual History as an undergraduate, and later completed graduate work in computational mathematics.[4]

His thesis, "The Reconstruction of Language and Time: Mathematics, Artificial Languages, and the Changing Idea of Time in the Scientific Revolution," was awarded the Columbia University Lily Prize. The research examined how early modern efforts to construct artificial languages intersected with the development of mathematical systems and changing conceptions of time—themes of language, time, and the rise of information that would become central to both his career in artificial intelligence and his book, The Predictive Present.[5]

Career

Early career

Before founding Ramsey Theory Group, Herbatschek worked in New York as an Investment Consultant and Data Management Consultant, advising firms on compliance, analytics, and technology transformation. These roles sharpened his understanding of financial systems, data structures, and operational constraints.[6]

Ramsey Theory Group

In 2017, Herbatschek founded Ramsey Theory Group, combining his interests in applied mathematics and software engineering. The firm takes its name from Ramsey theory, a branch of combinatorial mathematics demonstrating that organized structure is inevitable within sufficiently complex systems. Herbatschek has described this principle as foundational to his approach to enterprise technology: complexity always contains hidden patterns, and the challenge is building tools to reveal them.[7]

The firm has grown into a diversified technology holding company with a portfolio of brands and products spanning multiple industries. As of 2026, Ramsey Theory Group’s operations include offices in New York, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Paris, France. Herbatschek serves as CEO, overseeing strategic capital deployment, portfolio operations, and the integration of AI governance across all divisions.[8]

Portfolio companies and platforms

Ramsey Theory Group operates through several specialized divisions and product platforms:

  • Erdos Technologies (erdostechnologies.com) — The engineering and enterprise systems division, specializing in artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, big data infrastructure, and custom software development. The division serves clients across government, healthcare, finance, and technology sectors.[9]
  • Erdos Digital (erdosdigital.com) — The growth and digital marketing division, focusing on SEO, paid media, social media strategy, marketing automation, and customer acquisition systems.[10]
  • Erdos Tracks (erdostracks.com) — A field service and workforce management SaaS platform providing scheduling, dispatch, route optimization, and real-time field analytics.
  • Erdos Logistics (erdoslogistics.io) — A supply chain and logistics management platform applying quantitative modeling and AI-driven analytics to fleet management, warehouse operations, and supply chain visibility.
  • Erdos Medical (erdosmedical.com) — A healthcare technology platform offering clinical workflow automation, patient data management, and compliance-grade infrastructure for healthcare organizations.
  • Eunifi (eunifi.com) — An automotive retail technology platform providing dealership management, customer engagement, and digital retailing solutions.
  • Requiem Creative (Requiem) — A Los Angeles-based entertainment marketing agency within the portfolio. In 2025–2026, the agency expanded to nearly 80 professionals across entertainment AV, theatrical trailers, television, social campaigns, music composition, gaming, and in-house music. Its clients include Amazon, Apple, Hulu, Lionsgate, Neon, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Disney, Warner Bros., and 20th Century Studios.[11]

AI governance and enterprise thought leadership

Herbatschek has become a prominent voice on enterprise AI governance and risk quantification. In early 2026, he launched a structured AI Risk Quantification Framework across Ramsey Theory Group’s operations, applying probability modeling and systems analysis to evaluate algorithmic integrity exposure, regulatory compliance posture, infrastructure dependency, and cybersecurity cascade risk.[12]

He has published research and commentary on shadow AI governance, agent-driven enterprise AI, and the operational implications of emerging U.S. state-level AI safety legislation, including New York’s RAISE Act. His positions have been covered by Yahoo Finance, Globe Newswire, PR Newswire, Street Insider, and AI Tech Park.[13]

Writing and intellectual work

Herbatschek’s intellectual work centers on the relationships between language, time, and information—and how these forces have shaped both the history of scientific thought and the architecture of modern intelligent systems. He writes and publishes through two platforms:

Open Mind (danherbatschek.com) — A personal blog featuring long-form essays on the philosophy of science, intellectual history, early modern thought, Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, linear algebra, probability theory, real analysis, and logic. Herbatschek has described the blog as a repository of ideas tracing his transition from the humanities to the sciences.[14]

The Predictive Present (predictivepresent.com) — Herbatschek’s book and companion publication exploring the intersections of language, time, and the rise of information. The work traces how humanity’s evolving relationship with language and temporal understanding gave rise to the information systems that now define modern life—from artificial languages and the Scientific Revolution to predictive algorithms and AI governance. Where Open Mind looks backward at the history of ideas, The Predictive Present looks forward, examining how the structures of language, the measurement of time, and the architecture of information will shape enterprise strategy, intelligent systems, and the next decade of technological leadership.

Education initiatives and philanthropy

Dan Herbatschek Scholarship

Herbatschek founded the Dan Herbatschek Scholarship (danherbatschekscholarship.com) to provide financial support, mentorship, and internship opportunities to students pursuing mathematics and machine learning, with a focus on individuals from underrepresented and nontraditional backgrounds. The scholarship provides $2,500 in financial aid, one-on-one mentorship, and priority consideration for internships at Ramsey Theory Group.[15] The program has been listed on Scholarships360 and represents the beginning of a broader effort to expand access to AI education, including planned scholarships for women in machine learning and partnerships with universities.

ALEXI Learning

Herbatschek is developing ALEXI Learning (alexilearning.com), a mathematics education platform under Ramsey Theory Group designed to make rigorous quantitative thinking accessible to a wider audience. ALEXI represents the product extension of his commitment to mathematics education, building on the foundation of the scholarship program with scalable, AI-enhanced learning experiences.

Personal life

Herbatschek lives in New York with his wife, two daughters, and son. Outside his professional work, he is an avid follower of boxing, which he has described as a discipline of character whose precision, endurance, and strategic thinking mirror the qualities he values in research and executive leadership.
