Sarhaan Gulati

Hi, I'm Sarhaan! I live in San Francisco, and graduated from UBC, Vancouver in 2024.

I'm new to the city and would love to meet if you're around - we can grab lunch, go go-karting, play soccer/pickleball/table tennis, or if schedules don't allow for an adventure, go for a walk!

Reach out anytime: [email protected] or https://x.com/sarhaan77!

I was part of EF's first SF cohort, and started a company to make AI tools to help lobbyists, lawyers, trade associations, etc., monitor, analyze, and act on the ungodly amount of information the US government releases every day.

We worked on it for a year, learned a lot about how lobbying (and the business of politics) works, but unfortunately, we never really found our footing.

I took a month off, and now I'm onto the next adventure!

I can write fluffy words to explain the kind of things I'm obsessed with, but I'd rather you skim these:

• Tunnels, irl pokemons, hvac systems, and lots of other fun ideas

• I have a few questions!

• A few deep research links I really enjoyed

• Cool things I own

• I also collect awesome images and videos from all over the internet

• Dump: Design Vibes, Writing, Poems, etc. I really like

• WIP: Notes on China

• WIP: An audit of the American Industrial Base

tldr: I love America, and I love Technology.

Request for people: If you work in any of the following areas, please reach out!

• archaeologists specializing in post ~1500 Amazonia: I participated in OpenAI's A to Z challenge. My submission included ways to detect geoglyphs/earthworks using lidar and detect signs of terra preta using multispectral data. I didn't win, and I want to know why. I'd be more than happy to pay you to review my work!
• actuaries and commodity traders: I feel like you have a very macro view of the world and I want to know how you're preparing + thinking about the next ~5 years given progress in ai, US-China divorce, falling cost of solar, and dozens of other major themes playing out at the same time.
• agricultural biosecurity: bird flu was bad! I want to know what we learned from it, why was it so bad, and has anything changed? (esp as the risk of screw worm increases)
