Surya Dantuluri

I grew up in the Bay Area and started building Flash games at 10. Won an international robotics competition in high school with a self-driving RC car I built. When GPT-2 was released in 2019, I was one of the first to fine-tune and deploy it in production to do my homework and run GPT-2 news sites autonomously that hit 12M+ impressions.

Left school during covid to run a MEV search firm. At Berkeley in 2023, I made the #1 ChatGPT plugin used by teams at Google, PwC, Harvard, governments, and over a million users. Worked with Jorn Lyseggen, then Elad Gil's build group, then co-founded a defense startup making agentic software, backed by OpenAI.

After seeing how the best orgs run across the country, I'm convinced we simply don't have enough good software. Software where your tribal knowledge becomes the backbone. Not chatbots. Not agents. Software that accelerates your best people.
