Aaron Wang

Aaron Wang is the co-founder and CEO of Alex (formerly Apriora), a San Francisco AI company whose autonomous recruiter, also named Alex, runs thousands of phone and video interviews a day for Fortune 100s, Big Four accounting firms, and staffing agencies. A Brown triple major who went from a quant trading desk and Facebook AI Research to a Y Combinator startup, Wang bet that a 10-minute conversation reveals more than any LinkedIn profile, then bought the alex.com domain for more than $500K to prove it. The company raised a $17M Series A led by Peak XV Partners in September 2025.
