DeeperPoint is a self-funded project by Mustafa (Vic) Uzumeri.
The DeeperPoint ecosystem—including the open-source Cosolvent harness and its proprietary tools—is not the product of a traditional startup. It is the culmination of a multi-decade career that required synthesizing insights across extremely varied domains: macro-level transportation planning, industrial engineering, academic operations, and scalable digital systems.
This deep, cross-disciplinary background provided the specific insight necessary to pull these disparate pieces together into a unified theory of "thin market physics," and then intelligently engineer a practical software framework to solve it.
Vic also writes independently on Substack.
