Senior🎓
Top SchoolYash Mittal is a founder and product leader with 11 years of experience building AI-first and Web3-enabled products from prototype to scale, most recently founding Garage Foundry to embed AI and Web3 execution teams into early-stage ventures. He previously co-founded PayUp and led it to $100M+ annual payment volume across payments, vendor payouts, rent payments and rent-as-credit reporting, while partnering with Stripe for Treasury and Card Issuing. Yash blends hands-on engineering, HCI-driven product design, and growth-stage strategy—moving fluidly between code, design, and the boardroom—and has shipped voice AI IVRs, agentic AI features, and education-focused conversational agents. He also invests through Xartha Ventures, backing founders across AI, Web3 and hardware in emerging markets. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly turns client work into standalone products and monetizable tooling, creating compounding IP as he builds. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he holds an MS in Human-Computer Interaction and a CS/finance undergrad.
