Anuveer Chadha is a Co-Founder at Kara Labs (YC S26), a deep tech startup on a mission to make diamond a mainstream engineering material, growing high-purity single-crystal diamond wafers for advanced hardware applications.
Anuveer studied Chemical Engineering at UC Berkeley before dropping out to pursue cutting-edge research, building diamond quantum sensing systems at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in collaboration with the Department of Defense.
His rare combination of hands-on materials science research and applied ML expertise uniquely positions him to bridge the gap between quantum-grade diamond fabrication and real-world industrial deployment.
Prior to Kara Labs, Anuveer applied machine learning to biologics development at Regeneron, gaining deep exposure to the intersection of science and computational methods in high-stakes industries.
Kara Labs is part of Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch and produces diamond substrates, engineered layers, membranes, and thermal materials that move heat up to 5x better than copper, serving aerospace, RF electronics, and quantum device markets.
