Chetan Mishra is a founder and experienced software leader with 11 years building scalable AI and developer-facing platforms for regulated and enterprise domains. He currently leads Rhizome AI (YC W26), helping life sciences teams anticipate regulator thinking, and previously built the developer-scientist platform at EvolutionaryScale that scaled to hundreds of GPUs and billions of API requests. At Instabase he progressed from ML engineer to tech lead, shipping document-understanding systems and full-stack apps that processed millions of documents for banks and insurers. He has led small engineering teams through product delivery and hiring (first product-engineering hire to manager of five) and has hands-on experience across ML, inference infrastructure, Terraform, Go, Python, React and TypeScript. His background includes applied research and production ML at IBM and Real Capital Analytics, where he improved model latency and production metrics, and an early career focus on visualization and analytics from his University of Virginia training. Notably, he combines deep systems and ML expertise with domain fluency in biology and regulation—bridging lab needs to production software.
