Gaurav Ranganath ^{Top-Executive}

As an AI Product Engineer at Radical Ventures, I build AI-native products that improve how the firm operates, makes decisions, and supports founders. My work spans product engineering, agentic systems, and venture workflows, with a focus on translating ambiguous problems into production-ready tools that create real leverage.

Before Radical, I was a two-time founder and early employee across AI startups, working on model routing, transparency, and applied AI systems. I worked on multi-model infrastructure at Martian and led DeepView, Stratum AI’s real-time mining intelligence platform.

I co-authored RouterBench, a benchmark and large-scale dataset for evaluating multi-LLM routing systems across cost-quality tradeoffs, now cited in over 250 papers.

I also run Vikasa, a non-profit venture advisory for early-stage Canadian founders, and mentor builders through MakeUofT, UofTHacks, and other early technical communities. My work is centered on building practical AI systems, supporting ambitious founders, and helping turn frontier technology into lasting value.
