Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAbhishek Nayak is a serial founder and CEO based in San Francisco with six years of focused experience building developer-facing products and internal tooling. As co-founder and CEO of Appsmith, he has grown an open-source platform for internal apps and dashboards that integrates many data sources and has helped raise over $50M. His background spans multiple startups he founded or led—across payments, transaction marketing, and AI-driven customer service—giving him deep product instincts and a willingness to shutter ventures when technical or market fit wasn’t there. Hands-on technically, he contributes front-end improvements to prominent open-source projects like Appsmith, blending UX sensibility with product strategy. He also spent time as an EIR at Accel and is comfortable operating at the intersection of fundraising, engineering, and growth. An early scientific training in biological sciences and work on applied ML inform his data-driven approach to product decisions.
