Stay Weird. Create something.
Love. Play.
Bodhi: Meaning
Bodhi is short for Bodhisattva, a sanskrit word describing someone who is on the path to knowledge and enlightenment. However, that is not why I love this word - I know nothing about Sanskrit. Bodhi was Patrick Swayze’s name in the classic movie Point Break, a movie which speaks to my soul.
Hi, I am Rish
For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with people who build their own things and building new things myself. I have also always enjoyed sports, with both my parents working in demanding corporate jobs, my childhood with spent from one sports practice to another. I played soccer for both school and college. Now, I enjoy running, biking, climbing, skiing and almost any outdoor sports.
It is no surprise that San Francisco is home for me.
I am a stanford grad who has built and sold my first company. I am building my 2nd company, Spot AI right with backing from Redpoint ventures, Bessemer venture partners, Scale venture partners amongst others. I also invest via my pre-seed fund - The Explorer Fund.
Books I read tend to be biographies, philosophies on individualism, objectivism or capitalism and historical tales of great empires or businesses.
