Gorish Aggarwal
Gorish Aggarwal is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sybill AI, an agentic AI platform that automates the administrative grind of B2B sales - generating call summaries, drafting follow-up emails, and syncing CRM data so sales reps can focus on closing deals. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer who once worked on AI to restore sight to the blind, Gorish pivoted from computational neuroscience to sales intelligence after noticing during a 2020 Zoom lecture that reading human engagement over video was nearly impossible. He and three Stanford roommates - including his sister Mehak Aggarwal - built Sybill, scaling it from $100K to $1M ARR in nine months and raising $14.5M total, with an oversubscribed $11M Series A led by Greycroft in July 2024.

A product of IIT Delhi's dual-degree program in Mathematics and Computing, she went on to conduct research at Harvard's biomedical imaging center (where she developed a patented CT scan fracture-detection algorithm), Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Singapore University of Technology and Design. She and her co-founders - including her brother Gorish Aggarwal - built Sybill into a 700+ customer platform with $14.6M in total funding. In 2025, she was named a fully funded Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford Graduate School of Business, continuing to lead Sybill while studying.
