S2 E43 - Scaling the Future: Where Veteran Operators Meet Multi-Agent AI

On this week's episode of Silicon Valley Impact we speak with Anshu Agarwal, General Partner at Converge; and Amar Flora, General Partner at Solaris Venture Partners. We talking about Scaling the Future: Where Veteran Operators Meet Multi-Agent AI.

Anshu has spent 20+ years founding, scaling, and exiting venture-backed B2B tech companies in Silicon Valley. She has helped build four startups as a founder or early executive—each acquired by public companies including Akamai, Juniper Networks, HP, and Citrix. In 2018, she co-founded Nimbella, a pioneer in serverless computing, and led it as CEO from ideation to acquisition by DigitalOcean in under three years. She later served as VP/GM of DigitalOcean’s Serverless & Kubernetes business. Across her exits, she was repeatedly recruited by acquirers to lead integration and revenue expansion. Anshu holds engineering degrees from IIT Roorkee and Rutgers, an MBA from Kellogg, and serves on the Board of the IIT Bay Area Association.

Amar brings global experience across banking, finance, technology, and international business expansion. He began his career in banking in Sydney, later working in telco/digital infrastructure and strategy for wealth management in New York. As Director of Finance and COO at the University of Sydney, he led international growth across energy, infrastructure, mining, and technology sectors, executing deals across Australia, the U.S., Canada, India, Singapore, and China. He founded and exited an EdTech startup in 2020 before co-founding Klaviss, a first-of-its-kind multi-AI-agent ecosystem for real estate, now with three patents pending. Amar studied Software Engineering, completed a postgraduate program at the University of Cambridge, and earned an Executive MBA from UNSW. He also mentors postgraduate students in strategy and global market expansion.
