Who TF Is Kevin?

Gigi lips logo
YC X25 founder meets Yale CS swagger - Kevin's the type to casually drop "when I was dining hall staff" right after mentioning his startup raised. Total stealth mode strategist who moved from Exeter straight to SF founder life. Built CampusCommons for 3 years before pivoting to Capacitive - clear pattern of enterprise DNA mixed with elite institution hustle. Now he's all in on making AI actually useful for companies (v on brand for Yale CS). The way he jumped from dining hall to YC in literally a month? That's the kind of calculated risk-taking we live for. Plus anyone who can make enterprise data gateways sound sexy clearly knows how to play the game.

What makes Kevin special?

💚

Green Flags

Shows real grit mixing dining hall work with startup hustle. Smart pivot from CampusCommons to enterprise AI shows strong market instincts. Quick execution - 3 months from stealth to launch.

🚩

Red Flags

Moved straight to SF post-grad giving major tech bubble vibes. Might be too smooth with the elite credentials flex. Risk of being TOO strategic - dining hall to YC isn't exactly an organic path.

9.2/10

✨ legit?

X25 batch grab in enterprise AI infra? Major. Yale CS/Econ double threat building Capacitive with serious market timing. When the integration layer becomes the next unicorn play, watch this space.

8.5/10

🔥 trendy?

Relocated to SF and instantly got YC backing? Real founder moves. Plus, that 1.1k reactions on the launch? Valley startup circles don't just hand those out. IYKYK - signals hitting different.

9.1/10

😎 cool?

That dining hall grind at Yale while building CampusCommons shows the hustle DNA. Zero pretense despite the Exeter pedigree. True builder archetype - all substance, minimal noise.

YC co-founders taking flight

When YC co-founders collide! Same batch, same mission, same elite pedigree (Yale x Exeter DNA). Kevin built CampusCommons before the pivot while Rohan crushed consulting - now they're tag-teaming Capacitive to make AI actually useful. The way they both ditched cushy paths for the founder grind? Elite strategy.
