agencity

We believe technology is the only thing that creates access at scale.

Agencity backs the companies closing that gap.

— Arjun Vad

In 9th grade I went to a village outside Nagpur called Khapa to help install 770 solar panels.

The village had electricity cuts 15 times a day. People barely had money for one meal. And even after all of that, they were more satisfied with life than most people I've met since.

That's when I first realised how much technology can change people's lives. And how often the people who actually need it are the ones who never get access to it.

Everything I've built since has been about closing that gap.

In college I built Crowdflo to get bootcamps and extracurriculars to 5,000+ students across rural India. Then the first version of Agencity, a platform that helped students get into YC-backed companies. 4M impressions, 7K users, $0 spend. I joined the founding team at Axal, an a16z-backed AI company, and started ML research at UCSD on the side. Built a full-sized humanoid robot with Triton Droids. Started a content engine that now reaches 500K monthly views.

Earlier this year I co-founded Dr. Tracker, a healthcare AI we raised $650K for and got a 25,000-patient government pilot for in India. And I started writing checks too, with $50K of my own capital into CLD-9 as a partner.

Now I'm building Agencity.

Agencity is a venture studio.

We back frontier AI, robotics, and health companies and help them execute across India and other hard markets. The unglamorous work that decides whether technology actually reaches people.

We'd love to hear what you're building.
