About

Venkat J, is a 3x founder currently building Agentic AI for Social—an emerging category at the intersection of AI, influence, commerce, and content intelligence. As the founder of Live2.ai, he is pioneering autonomous AI agents that go beyond support—they think, plan, and act on behalf of brands to elevate their social media performance. Under his leadership, Live2.ai has launched: Shoppable Social Walls that convert social proof and user-generated content into real-time commerce across brand websites and apps. Agentic Publishing, Reporting & Listening—AI-led tools that function like a strategist, creating CXO/brand-led narratives, publishing consistently, analyzing performance, and optimizing content direction. With a vision to move brands from passive presence to active influence, Venkat is redefining enterprise social management: less dashboards, more decisions—tied to real business outcomes. Before Live2.ai, Venkat was part of the founding team at Quess Corp, where he incubated and scaled multiple tech-driven business lines across India and the Middle East, including telecom, gov-tech, and retail-tech solutions. He also co-founded Woovly, a social commerce platform for Bharat, and is an alum of the Stanford Ignite program in innovation and entrepreneurship.
