Allen Wang
Allen Wang is the cofounder and CEO of Ditto, a swipe-free AI matchmaking service for college campuses that plans real, in-person dates over iMessage. He dropped out of UC Berkeley after starting the company with cofounder Eric Liu - reportedly to help a roommate find a girlfriend before graduation. By early 2026 Ditto had grown to roughly 42,000 students across University of California campuses and raised a $9.2 million seed round led by Peak XV Partners, with Gradient Ventures and others participating, on a bet that Gen Z wants fewer screens and more real dates.

A chemical engineer turned content entrepreneur, Narain spent nearly four years at Pocket FM building its global content engine to $120M in revenue before pivoting to his conviction that generative AI would do for storytelling what the camera phone did for photography.
