Vedant Khanna
I'm currently deploying Cognition's agents in governments and Fortune 500 companies across MENA & APAC.
I was previously CEO and cofounder of Hazel (PearX W23), where we raised $2M to build an AI real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway. I studied Math at Stanford, and enjoy angel investing in friends (Mercor, Sable).
I helped build Friends and Family, a community at Stanford that ships. One of my favorite projects was Siri for email.
