Summary
Yash Paliwal is a founder-CEO and hands-on builder with 11 years of experience creating and scaling early-stage tech ventures, specializing in AI-powered products and GTM strategy. As head of PublicSquare Ventures he partners with investors and startups to prototype, validate, and operationalize high-leverage ventures, while maintaining active engineering chops from his Principal/Full-Stack work at Everest Toronto. He’s launched and led multiple ventures—from civic tech that drove thousands of public inputs to an AI teaching assistant that reached early monetization—learning to pivot quickly when markets or funding shift. Comfortable switching between code, product and sales ops, Yash blends technical depth (React, full-stack JS, blockchain experience) with repeatable go-to-market playbooks. He’s been selected for competitive founder programs (Antler) and brings the uncommon combo of builder mentality plus investor-facing strategy.
