Kaushik Tiwari — Founder
Actively building Attack Capital- an AI Venture Studio that incubates AI startups. At 18, I landed in New York with two suitcases, a full scholarship to Columbia University, and an ambition to carve my own path. Over the years, that ambition has taken me through a whirlwind journey: dropping out of college to join the Thiel Fellowship, getting into Y Combinator, building startups that taught me resilience through failure, and eventually founding Attack Capital, an AI Venture Studio. Today, I am focused on one thing: building transformative AI products that solve real-world problems. At Attack Capital, we’ve shifted our focus from passive investing to full-scale incubation and creation. Why? Because building is in our DNA. My co-founder and I realized that instead of chasing overvalued startups, we could use our experience to build solutions faster and better. In the last year alone, we’ve incubated and launched: - Open Mic: AI-powered voice agent for outbound and inbound calls, used across industries like real estate and healthcare. - Optic Intellect: Large vision models and OCR tools for data extraction, solving document management challenges in finance, insurance, and logistics. - PowerDialer AI: A productivity tool for sales agents to supercharge their cold outreach. - Join Arena: An AI interviewer that conducts skills-based interviews, streamlining the recruiting process. And many more. I’m thrilled to build and grow these startups in public. I genuinely believe in the potential of AI to change the world for better and I am here to be a part of the change. If you’re curious about AI, building startups, or want to talk about transformative ideas, let’s connect. I’d love to hear your story and explore how we can build the future together.
