About the Event
Want to know what it takes to build-and raise from-a top-tier VC like Andreessen Horowitz?
Join us for a session with Satish, an active angel investor and former Partner at a16z.
He started his career designing GPUs (now powering modern AI), built an AI-SRE startup out of Y Combinator, and later scaled product and growth at AppDynamics.
As an investor, he’s backed companies like Pinecone, PlanetScale, Graphite, Clerk, Tigris, and Fly-teams building the infrastructure behind today’s AI.
This will be a small, focused session with direct access to someone who has both built and backed companies at a high level.
What to Expect
A conversation between Satish and Lochan Alagh on:
• What actually gets a founder funded
• How early teams are evaluated
• What’s happening across AI and infra
Followed by founder Q&A
The session will close with a members-only conversation with Satish for deeper discussion.
