👋 Hi, I'm Varun

I spent 15 years building data and fintech products, and now I build AI agents. I run AgentScore with Sean Thorne. Our product, Hivemind, builds and runs AI agents that review contracts, work deals, analyze data and catch errors in it. Before this I was Chief Product Officer at People Data Labs, where we grew from zero to mid-eight figures in revenue, and that data background is built into our Data QA Agent.

AgentScore is backed by Auren Hoffman, founder of LiveRamp and SafeGraph, Jeff Fluhr, co-founder of StubHub, and Michael Cardamone of Forum Ventures.
