Carlos Volante is Co-Founder and CTO at Runtime (runtm.com), a Y Combinator-backed developer tools startup building the infrastructure layer that enables entire organizations to deploy coding agents safely and at scale.

Carlos previously served as a senior engineer at Modern Treasury, where he scaled the platform to $350B in annual payments volume and $1T in reconciliation volume with 99.995% automation using a proprietary self-hosted LLM.

Carlos co-founded Mentum (YC S21), a startup that was subsequently acquired, giving him firsthand experience navigating the full startup lifecycle from early traction through exit.

At Runtime, Carlos leads all technical architecture, building sandboxed environments, session-level observability, and configurable guardrails so teams can ship with coding agents without breaking production.

Runtime is already live with fast-growing YC scaleups and used across 40+ countries with zero ad spend, empowering engineers, PMs, designers, and ops teams to contribute to codebases using AI agents.
