Jeetendra Gangele — Co-Founder
I’m a two-time exited founder and hands-on CTO who has spent the last decade building AI-first products and large-scale data platforms.

My background spans: Leading AI & data teams at Amazon, Lowe’s, and high-growth startups Building NLP, ML, and data infrastructure systems since 2010 Scaling platforms used by millions of users Open-source contributions to Apache Spark & HBase Today, I work as a fractional CTO for early-stage AI startups and actively explore 0→1 opportunities with founders who care deeply about product, execution, and long-term impact. I’m especially interested in: AI-native products Data infrastructure & observability GPU-native analytics Runtime intelligence platforms If you’re a founder looking for a battle-tested technical co-founder / CTO, happy to connect.
