Shyam Maddali
Shyam Maddali is the Co-Founder and CTO of Coris, an AI-powered merchant risk platform backed by Y Combinator, Lux Capital, and Exponent Capital. After spending seven years at WePay (a JPMorgan Chase company) as Senior Director of Data Science & Risk Engineering, and earlier years at eBay leading Trust & Safety machine learning, Shyam co-founded Coris in 2022 to solve the unsolved problem he saw up close: that financial institutions managing small business risk were still drowning in spreadsheets, legacy systems, and false positives. Coris now automates merchant onboarding, underwriting, fraud detection, and continuous monitoring for clients including GoFundMe, Kajabi, Clio, and Cherry - processing intelligence on 330 million merchants across 50+ countries.
