Giga $61M Series A I met @eshamanideep and @varunvummadi in Jan 2024 at a @ycombinator event. @harjtaggar introduced them — he had noted they were wicked smart and gritty.

Turning the world's business logic into code is going to drive one of the most fundamental changes of our lifetime. It's a pleasure to work with @eshamanideep and the rest of the team on making this into a reality.

Being tasteful with our core primitives and betting hard that AI is fantastic at code has been how we've built such an extensible product with such a fast time-to-value. It's a game changer for enterprises, not just our go-to-market motion.

"Don't build anything custom for the customer. Everything has to be a core part of the product." This is an enormous part of why @gigaml is different. Thanks @harjtaggar for helping us tell this part of our story.

Giga is a special company with founders who are both elite engineers and relentless at sales. This is going to be one of the case studies in how the AI revolution favored extremely technical founders who won by building a better product than anyone else was capable of.

LLM finetuning ended up not being a great business. But Esha and Varun are incredible founders. They are relentless learning machines. Their ambition knows no bounds. I’m proud to call them close friends, and even prouder to get the chance to work with them.

And he was right. I got to see that as their office neighbor in our WeWork-like situation. There were many nights where when 10pm rolled around, it was only me and the Giga guys.

What an honor for @gigaml to serve customers like DoorDash :)

GigaML → Giga We’ve updated our domain to giga.ai with a new website to tell the right story around our customers, our product, and our team.

I’ve joined @gigaml as Head of Product. I met @varunvummadi & @eshamanideep at @ycombinator when it was their first time in America. They’ve since scaled their voice AI platform to handle millions of calls for companies like DoorDash 🚗 I’m helping Giga build what comes next. If you’re an engineer, designer, or operator who’s obsessed with scale, autonomy, and impact, I’d love to talk. Let’s move the world towards perfect execution with AI.

There will be no Cocomelon in my household

High interest rates are good actually, expands access to credit. If lenders can’t profitably lend to demographics that are likely to default, they won’t lend.

Nice writeup. I’ve noticed low-code-no-code occupies the “else” statement space well — a higher-ordered 911 for when off the shelf point solutions and platforms fail, traditionally occupied by internal tools and consulting Kevin Kwok wrote of the concept kwokchain.com/2019/08/16/the…
