Top SchoolShashank Khanna is a pragmatic builder and engineering leader with 11 years of experience, currently heading GTM Engineering at Vanta where he leads teams building AI agents to automate pre- and post-sales workflows and generate pipeline. He’s a repeat founder and operator — YC-backed CEO of Cashmere (30M valuation) that served 900+ institutional clients and raised $3.7M — who pairs product-first instincts with hands-on engineering in React, Node, Rust and integrations across crypto ecosystems. His background spans scaling fintech systems at SoFi and Amazon, shipping consumer iOS games, bespoke AI agent consulting for studio clients, and even designing automated irrigation for mushroom farms, revealing an appetite for diverse, physical-to-digital problems. Early roots running a kids’ quiz prep site in Faridabad and odd jobs from cosmetology school to filling ATMs reflect a resourceful, curious approach to problem solving.
