Nour Zahzah is Co-Founder and CEO of Vendo (YC S26), an open-source AI customization layer that lets users build their own features and micro-apps directly on top of any software product.

Nour studied Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley and previously built in-store AI shopping assistants for retailers, also gaining experience at NASA California Space Grant Consortium and Founders, Inc.

Before entering the startup world, Nour played professional academy soccer for the San Jose Earthquakes for 7 years, demonstrating elite-level discipline and competitive drive.

Nour co-founded Vendo alongside Yousef Helal, backed by Y Combinator's S26 batch, with the company operating out of San Francisco and receiving $500K in seed funding from YC.

Vendo is fully open source, installs with a single command, and empowers product teams to eliminate endless feature backlogs by letting users personalize software without touching the source code.
