Arian Ghashghai is a founder, investor, and technologist with nine years of software engineering experience and a focus on TypeScript, Go, Java, and C++. He founded Earthling VC to back pre-seed teams building the next paradigm in AR/VR, AI, and robotics, and simultaneously runs an angel investing practice and syndicates deals through arian.vc. Previously he built applied ML systems at Meta—spanning feed integrity pipelines and spatial inference for AR/VR—bringing production ML experience to early-stage investing. His background as a startup co-founder and partner at DVC gives him both operator empathy and a venture perspective on product-market fit. He writes about VC strategy and technical trends and is active on Twitter and Substack, blending hands-on engineering judgment with deal-making instincts. An underappreciated asset: he moves comfortably between low-level systems languages and high-level ML/product problems, which helps him evaluate deeply technical founding teams.
