Summary
Amol Kapoor is a founder and engineer with 11 years of experience building research-driven software and startups at the intersection of AI, systems, and biology. He cofounded multiple ventures (SOOT, molabs, Diagraphic) and now leads Nori Agentic, improving coding agents, while also organizing the Agentics community and advising early-stage startups at Ubiquity Ventures. His background spans research engineering at Google on 2D→3D and large-scale graph mining, neural emulation work at Columbia’s BioNet lab, and practical product engineering from device-level healthcare solutions to cloud and tooling projects. Comfortable moving between deep research and shipping products, he has repeatedly turned experimental ideas—reinforcement-learning agents, visual IDEs, and medical screening hardware—into deployed systems. Based in New York, he blends academic training from Columbia and Oxford with hands-on startup grit and a contrarian curiosity about what we actually know. An intriguing throughline in his career is a persistent focus on making complex, research-heavy tech usable and scalable in the real world.
