Vin Sachidananda

I’m a VC at Two Sigma Ventures where I invest in seed-series B stage startups across AI, Infra, SaaS, Security, DeepTech, Bio, and Dev Tools.

Some of the startups I currently work/worked with: Cerby, Iambic Therapeutics, Distributional, Zeromatter, Etched, Inception Labs, SDF (acq. dbt Labs), Freestyle, Okteto, Objective (acq. Upwork - UPWK), Nullify.

Previously, I did some interesting things in AI, Infra and SaaS:

Research: NLP PhD from Stanford. Researched LLMs/Transformers since their inception and precursors before that. Authored papers in all the top AI (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML) and NLP (ACL, EMNLP) conferences.

Industry: Research Scientist at Google, Apple and Amazon researching and productionalizing early LLM products with large research teams.

Startups: Founding engineer at startups spun out of MIT Celect acq. Nike and Stanford Clockwork.io. Built and sold things from pre-seed to series A/B.

Advising: I advise a small number of early stage startups, particularly in AI and DeepTech, please reach out at vinsachi@alumni.stanford.edu if this is of interest.
