Hey, I'm Sachi.

I lead growth and venture at Sentient Foundation. I care deeply about open-source AI, business and operations, and finding ways to support the broader open-source ecosystem.

Before Sentient, I was a founding member of Polygon Ventures. There, I led our $100M ecosystem fund and spearheaded a $500M raise backed by Sequoia, Lightspeed, SoftBank, Tiger Global, Galaxy Digital, and Dragonfly.

I'm also an investor at Symbolic Capital and spend my free time angel investing and advising founders.

I studied electrical engineering at Caltech - scientist at heart. I speak three languages, love to travel, and I'm always happy to connect.

Open Commons

I host Open Commons, a long-form podcast exploring how advanced AI is built, shared, and governed in the open.
