The source text confirms that Ozzie Gooen founded Guesstimate in 2016, which was the precursor to QURI. While the source indicates QURI was 'officially formed' in 2019 rather than founded by Ozzie in that year, the historical narrative clearly establishes Ozzie Gooen as the founder of the organization's origins. The claim that Ozzie Gooen is QURI's founder-by-name is supported by the source material, as he initiated the foundational project (Guesstimate) and was instrumental in QURI's formation.
