Prateek Devashetti — Founder
I’m building Vouch, a trust engine for D2C brands rooted in a simple belief: trust will define the next decade of commerce more than discounts or ads ever will. Most online brands don’t fail because their product is weak. They fail because buyers don’t know who to trust, and platforms don’t give them the primitives to earn it. So I’m working on the foundational layer: social proof, community signals, and trust loops, that help brands convert with credibility instead of spend. My background moves across research, product, growth, and founder’s office roles, but the common thread has always been the same: understanding how people behave, and building systems that move that behavior in meaningful ways. In early-stage environments, I’ve learned to operate with: - high agency - bias for action over polish - customer obsession over assumptions - clarity in chaotic contexts - and ruthless prioritization around what actually matters I enjoy working on problems where: - the solution isn’t obvious, - the data looks messy until you see the pattern, - and the answer lies in understanding people, not metrics. At Vouch, I’m responsible for everything from product direction to GTM experiments, research, funnels, incentive design, data architecture, and founder-level problem solving. The goal isn’t to build a feature. The goal is to build an ecosystem where trust compounds. Always open to thoughtful conversations with founders working on 0→1 products, trust systems, consumer behavior, social loops, early-stage GTM, or building for the Indian commerce stack. Currently, working with founder's across the ecosystem
