Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAvinash Jain is an entrepreneur-engineer with 11 years of experience building product-focused software and AI services from prototype to scale. Based in San Jose, he co-founded Cardinal Labs (Solana NFT/token infrastructure) and served as a founding engineer at Quanta, demonstrating experience raising capital and operating systems that handled millions of transactions and tens of thousands of active users. He pairs hands-on engineering with education and community building—teaching over a million students on Udemy, founding The Codex, and instructing algorithms at UC Berkeley—bringing a knack for turning complex concepts into practical learning experiences. More recently he built AI-powered creator services (dubbing) and led Berkeley’s Accel Scholar program, blending research-adjacent work with product velocity. Avinash is comfortable across the stack and the startup lifecycle, from internships at Apple and Amazon to founding teams, and tends to ship pragmatic ML-infused features that directly impact creators and marketplaces. He combines technical rigor from a UC Berkeley EECS background with entrepreneurial grit and a bias for shipping.
