Viraat Das is the cofounder and CEO of Exla, a Y Combinator (Winter 2025) startup building AI infrastructure. A former Amazon machine learning engineer who finished his Purdue computer science degree in two and a half years, he first shipped an SDK that squeezes large transformer models onto edge hardware like NVIDIA Jetsons, then aimed the company at Libra, an always-on AI site reliability engineer that reads production logs, traces failures to the deploy that caused them, and opens fix pull requests while the team sleeps.
Sang Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Vibranium Labs, a New York startup building Vibe AI, billed as the first 24/7 AI site reliability engineer. A former Google and AWS engineer who lived through too many 2 a.m. outage firefights, Lee is building an agentic AI teammate that detects, triages, and resolves IT incidents before a human ever wakes up. In September 2025 the company raised $4.6M in seed funding led by Calibrate Ventures and Mirae Asset, with backing from a16z, Franklin Templeton, and others, claiming up to an 85% cut in mean time to resolution and counting Shutterstock among its clients.
