Christine Watts is Co-Founder and CTO at Oxus, an AI-powered platform automating internal audit workflows for pre-IPO and public companies. Oxus is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch and helps audit teams save millions in outsourcing fees while completing audits 10x faster.

Christine earned a B.S. in Artificial Intelligence from MIT. Prior to Oxus, she built machine learning systems for early-stage and growth-stage startups and worked as a consultant at BCG and NERA Economic Consulting.

Christine specializes in applying AI and machine learning to solve complex business problems. She co-founded Oxus in 2025 with fellow MIT graduates Melinda Liu and Janet Liu to modernize internal audit processes.

Oxus turns hours of manual scoping, documentation, and control testing into review-ready outputs generated within minutes. The company is backed by Y Combinator and based in San Francisco, serving pre-IPO and public companies.

Oxus automates critical compliance workflows that traditionally require weeks of manual work. The platform addresses a massive market opportunity as public companies are required to prove their financial reporting and underlying processes work as expected.
