Probably Dileep George et al. at Vicarious....
But since that's a $55M Black Hole with no published results other than a mostly meaningless claim to having solved Captcha (which wasn't all that tough a task to begin with), there's no way to tell since it doesn't seem like practitioners of the art are the ones evaluating his prospects for further funding. But don't believe some random dude on HN, here's Yann Le Cun saying pretty much the same thing:
