Aidan Tiruvan is Co-Founder and CEO of Archal (YC S26), the first deterministic eval platform for AI agents that verifies agent actions and automatically opens fix PRs when issues are detected.

Aidan studied at the University of Colorado Boulder and later at MIT, and previously conducted ML research at Scale AI and NASA, building deep expertise in ML systems reliability.

A 2x founder, Aidan achieved USACO Platinum and Putnam recognition, signaling elite computational problem-solving ability that directly informs his approach to AI agent testing.

Aidan identified a critical gap in agentic infrastructure: the inability to safely evaluate AI agent actions before production deployment, which led to the founding of Archal in 2026.

Archal raised $500K in pre-seed funding backed by Y Combinator and targets AI-native engineering teams needing deterministic, stateful testing environments for autonomous software.
