# Core Contributors

Reppo Labs is a core contributor supporting the growth of the Reppo ecosystem, led by [RG](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raghavrmadya/), who previously helped scale the Filecoin Network and built ML models to reduce incentive abuse on the network. Other team contributors come from AWS, Protocol Labs, NHS UK, Manulife, and Uniswap.

**How it started**

While at Filecoin, RG found it extremely challenging to source training data for his models. Most of the data was sitting off-chain with storage providers, data transporters, and network contributors who had no explicit incentive to share it. RG became obsessed with using token incentives to crowdsource training data, and Reppo was born.
