Ayush Jaiswal is a growth and founder-turned-operator with eight years of experience building startups and developer communities, currently Head of Growth for Scale AI’s coding business in San Francisco. He co-founded and led Pesto Tech to democratize software engineering pay by upskilling India’s engineers and matching them with top global tech firms. Prior roles running Startup Grind India and evaluating deals at micro-VC Project Guerrilla give him rare exposure to community building, deal diligence, and early hiring. He blends hands-on GTM execution with a storyteller’s knack for messaging and an operator’s discipline, often speaking and traveling to grow networks and surface disruptive talent. That mix of founder grit, community muscle, and investor perspective shapes his approach to scaling developer-centric products and marketplaces.
