Saksham Aggarwal is Co-Founder of Cardboard (YC W26), an AI-powered agentic video editor that transforms raw footage into polished videos in seconds. The platform serves growth and marketing teams who need to ship video content fast without agencies or long timelines.

Saksham studied Computer Science at BITS Pilani and was Co-Founder/CTO at Iterate AI, an Entrepreneur First-backed startup building AI agents for product teams. He was the first engineer at PYOR, a Castle Island and Coinbase-backed financial data startup, and worked in growth at Sequoia-backed Flint.

Saksham has published research at ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics) and spoken internationally on AI evaluations. He creates content on social media with approximately 250,000 views per month on average and has known his co-founder Ishan Sharma for 15 years since middle school.

Cardboard is part of Y Combinator's W26 batch and has raised approximately $2M in funding. The browser-based platform uses multimodal LLMs and WebGPU to enable natural language video editing, allowing teams to create testimonials, launch videos, and ads in minutes instead of weeks.

Cardboard aims to become the default workspace for video production the way Canva and Figma became the workspace for design. The platform enables teams to iterate on video content faster, compounding attention over time by making professional video editing accessible without the steep learning curve of traditional tools like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
