EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WEBSITE IS LOREM IPSUM RN - IT IS A WIP. :) What do I love?
- Observing data.
- Building lasting products.
- Learning about human behaviors (mostly my own!).
I am based in San Francisco, CA, and am the Co-founder & CEO of Houseware. Houseware is the winner of the Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) Startup Challenge for envisioning its Product Analytics tool that blends captured data points with derived insights. Customers of Houseware in Fintech, Retail, and Edtech utilize our data warehouse native foundation to launch faster, create 10x impactful releases, and pulse their users to a better experience. Backed by Tanglin Venture Partners, GTMFund, and Better Capital.
Previously, I spent 3 years at Atlan as the 1st hire outside of the founders, leading 0>1 Product, CX, and Sales. Atlan has since gone on to raise over $200M+ and is recognized as a Gartner leader in metadata catalogs and data governance. Backed by Sequoia, Insight Partners, GIC, and Meritech Capital.
Winning with smart, ambitious, creative people brings me the most joy and grounds me on my journey. I have been fortunate to work with several friends, peers, and mentors since the age of 17, launching and building products for 100s of millions of users worldwide.
Three words to describe me would be resourceful, empathetic, and driven.
I am always striving to spend more and more time running (cover image from London Marathon 2022), cooking (weak spot for pistachios, and I overly use spinach in everything), working out (love Barry's LIFT classes!), and obsessively tracking my music listening patterns (I still use LastFM, heard of that?).
Always happy to help founders and be a sounding board! The best way to reach me is an email with <140 characters. divyanshsaini1 at gmail dot com.
Started angel investing (Sep '21 onwards) in early-stage startups where I learn from founders while building. Some cool companies I backed:
- Customer.io - Customer engagement platform
- Bitespeed - Braze/ESP for Shopify ecosystem
- Fathom - AI meeting assistant
- Reflect - Intelligent notetaking
