Ali focuses on crypto investments. Before Andreessen Horowitz, he was a software engineer and researcher at Google X, where he worked on the Everyday Robot project, which aims to build a robot that is smart and affordable enough to be viable as a consumer product for the home. He also worked at Google Brain, Google’s Artificial Intelligence lab, where he was a core developer on TensorFlow, Google’s primary library for machine learning. Ali began his career as a student and researcher at Stanford University, where he focused on the intersection of Computer Security, Distributed Systems, and Computer Networking. He first discovered the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2010 while doing research at Stanford Computer Security Lab, and has followed the space closely ever since.

Salil Deshpande was an engineer for 15 years before becoming an investor, and he credits this expertise as the key to his success as a seed-stage investor. Deshpande has been a venture capitalist since 2006, when he became a general partner at Bay Partners. He also did a long stint as the managing director of the venture arm of Bain Capital. Now, he’s a general partner at Uncorrelated Ventures, his early-stage fund that focuses on open-source and infrastructure software. Deshpande’s early investments in decentralized-finance startups have paid off: CoinDCX reached unicorn status in August at a $1.1 billion valuation. His best piece of advice for seed investing: “Specialize and be a domain expert so that you can add value to startups.”
