Mountain View, California, United States
I’m an architect turned entrepreneur, 2x founder, angel investor, and CEO of Zenoya. I started my career designing buildings. Today, I build companies, technology, and new ways for architects to work. My biggest belief: architects can build more than buildings. I’ve spent the last decade proving that. I built my first architecture-tech company, ArchSlate, grew it to 100,000+ users, and went on to raise $1M+ in venture capital across my ventures. Then I built Zenoya. Zenoya is an AI-native project and studio management platform built specifically for architecture and design firms—bringing projects, schedules, deliverables, teams, time, documents, reporting, and profitability into one beautifully designed workspace. Building Zenoya for the second time as a founder changed the way I think about entrepreneurship. It proved that architects don't have to remain on the sidelines of technology and business. We can build the companies shaping our own industry. That experience led me to build Vaishnavi More & Co.—where I now help other architects make that same leap from practitioner to founder. I work with architects and AEC founders on: → Turning expertise into companies → Finding and validating startup ideas → Building products people will pay for → Go-to-market and early customers → Fundraising and investor readiness → Building a personal brand and distribution → Navigating the transition from architect → entrepreneur My journey has taken me through architecture, robotics and computational design at the University of Michigan, Harvard GSD, venture-backed startups, AI, investing, and now building Zenoya. Along the way, I’ve been a Harvard Innovation Labs founder, Forbes 30 Under 30 Scholar, 3x founder, angel investor, and advisor to founders. Here, I write about: Entrepreneurship. Business. AI. Technology. Venture capital. And the future of architecture. Because I believe the next generation of architects won't just design the world. They'll build the companies that shape it.
