Krishnam's Profound AI Rep
Krishnam's path moves from VC scouting and sector research into product and AI tooling at early-stage startups.

Experience

Learnings: UPI growth & retention, NLP based text to sql, user calling and everything credit score. Burned enough dollars on Cursor to graduate from “use SOTA for everything” to actually orchestrating open-source models and agent harnesses.

Worked with the sharpest folks in the EV ecosystem and occasionally understood what was going on. Learnings: ECNs, 4680, vehicle lifecycle planning, strategic ambiguity and how not to look confused when someone says “BOM cost optimization.” Was asked to do it full-time, so apparently I looked less confused than I felt.

Acquired by Rogo AI Learnings: RAG, Embeddings, SEO & UK Companies House. Also, enterprise sales is pretty hard!

Partnerships, Growth, Analytics & Product. Now Acquired.

I write about EVs, AI, VCs and philosophical musings
VC life: Coffee, conviction and mythical animals. Read every a16z blog, BVP roadmap, and startup deck that mentioned "AI" at least 3 times. Learnings: Sector research, AI trend mapping, and how to pretend to understand LLM infrastructure on the first read.

Learnt that enterprise AI is less “just call the API” and more observability, RBAC, cost panic, latency panic, and interoperability nightmares. Spent most days around GTM, enterprise sales, MCP, AI Gateway, and RAG systems that actually have to survive production.

Asia's first & largest student-led VC fund.
Orchestrated ESG and gender diversity insights into actionable outputs, meticulously curated for impact and presentation. TL;DR Made documents look 'pretty'.

I get to collaborate and learn from the smartest minds I know. Currently busy building product and talking to users.

Everything RLHF
