Pranav Ravella is the Co-Founder and CTO of Sapien (SapienX Inc.), an AI-native platform that deploys autonomous coworkers for finance professionals, enabling complex, days-long workflows to be completed in minutes.

Pranav attended Stanford University after graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in 2022, and previously interned at Zoom in AI and Cybersecurity before dropping out of Stanford to build Sapien full-time.

At just 20 years old, Pranav co-founded Sapien alongside childhood friends Ron Nachum and Arya Grayeli, driven by a shared conviction that repetitive finance workflows were ripe for AI-native disruption.

Pranav led the technical architecture of Sapien's AI-native system, which integrates directly with Excel, ERP systems, and CRM platforms to deliver autonomous financial analysis at enterprise scale.

Sapien raised an $8.7M seed round led by General Catalyst, with backing from angel investors including Stripe advisor Claire Hughes Johnson, Behance founder Scott Belsky, and Cognition president Russell Kaplan.
