Rohan Puranik is a former co-founder and CTO of MindSumo who now invests at WestWave Capital with a focus on deep tech areas like firmware security, edge and cloud data security, robotics, quantum computing, and VR, often backing founders before they have much traction. He builds his investment theses over months or years and looks closely at robotics infrastructure, such as insurance for autonomous vehicles, rather than just the robots themselves.
