Summary
Samvit Ramadurgam is a serial founder and operator with 13 years of experience building marketplaces, investment vehicles, and AI-first companies, most recently founding Union, an AI company slated to launch in 2025. He led Forge from early startup to a $2B public company, later founded Destiny which took a flagship fund public on the NYSE, and earlier sold Streem to Box after a Y Combinator stint at 19. A hands-on engineer by training (UC Berkeley EECS), Samvit has deep expertise in distributed systems, ML, and functional languages and has built production infrastructure at Asana and signal-processing systems at LiveMagic. He’s also an active angel investor with over 300 seed investments, including early bets in 20+ eventual unicorns like Notion, Retool, and Superhuman. Comfortable switching between code, capital, and strategy, he combines technical rigor with product intuition and a long-term focus on agentic AI and conversational interfaces. Less obvious: his background includes laboratory research in superconductivity and neural signal analysis, underscoring a rare blend of high‑end research and applied startup execution.
