Kaushik ASP is Co-Founder of BentoLabs AI (YC P26), a closed-loop monitoring and learning platform for production AI agents, building at the frontier of AI infrastructure from the United States.

A self-taught engineer with a Full Stack Web Development certification from freeCodeCamp, Kaushik honed his craft across early-stage companies including Vani.Coach, Sporty, TheProductArtists, and Paz Care before stepping into founding roles.

Kaushik describes himself as an engineer, founder, and problem-solver who has built products from 0 to 1 across AI and SaaS, with a deep conviction that teams deploying agents in production need real operational leverage, not just dashboards.

Prior to BentoLabs, Kaushik served as a Founding Engineer at Emergent (YC S24), where the team scaled from $0 to $100M ARR in 8 months and built production coding agents used by over 5 million users across 190 countries.

BentoLabs AI, backed by Y Combinator in the P26 batch, sits directly in the production loop of AI agent deployments, turning opaque agents into systems that can be monitored, debugged, and continuously improved at scale.
