Ashwin Jandhyala

Builder. Founder. Investor.

I build AI products, back student founders, and ship software that matters. Currently working on AI persona experiences and exploring how agents reshape the way we interact with software.

// ABOUT

I am a builder at heart - someone who loves taking ideas from concept to shipped product. My work spans AI infrastructure, venture capital, and consumer software, driven by a belief that the best products start with a clear understanding of the people using them.

At the University of Washington, I founded Strato VC, the school's first venture capital club, and raised $3M to back student founders. Alongside, I've built Rooms AI (multi-agent persona chats), Just News (personalized AI news), and Alexandria (AI book discovery) - each exploring a different angle of how AI can make information more accessible and human.
