Investing in AI infra & deep tech products

Satish loves working with technical founders building bold AI products.

He partners with teams rebuilding the AI stack—next-generation hardware, high leverage middleware, delightful developer tools, and AI products that unlock entirely new experiences and workflows.

Previously a Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, he invested in infrastructure, databases, and developer platforms. He knows what it takes to go from zero to product-market fit.

Satish believes the best AI companies start small, with a sharp focus on user experience. They tackle hard problems with elegance and speed—and he's here to help them win.
