hi! i'm divyansh, friends call me div.
grew up in delhi, sf since '24. spent my career deep in data, infra, and dev tools.
sold my first startup last year to a $3b sf unicorn, then took time off to travel the world and run my second marathon (berlin '25). did a 10-day silent retreat somewhere in there too.
current rabbit holes: robot safety, interpretability, and why nobody talks about indium enough.
now brewing the next company.
more soon.
the fact that founders of ai labs so regularly leave the companies they started, often within months is raising or not long thereafter before anything has really happened, should somehow register as a reward signal that:
a) you should think really hard about your motivations to start a company
b) doing so should be because thereโs just no other vehicle for you to express your talent and conviction on bringing something new into the world and doing whatever it takes to win
c) you have to sure about your choice of cofounders, come rain come shine
otherwise, just donโt do it, and thatโs fine!
tokenmaxxing rebranded glue work.
work-about-work is now build-about-build.
hard to differentiate for most tokenshops today.
when your fav engineer is shouting "i have a harness for that."
quick update on how this is going: they have gone back to linear because maintaining their internal tool that they vibecoded was taking away from their actual workโs bandwidth.
