Deepak Bapat

Co-founder and CTO of Tabs, a vertical AI company building the future of revenue finance and billing automation. I lead both engineering and AI at Tabs, where we're building the Commercial Graph, a unified intelligence layer connecting contracts, invoices, and revenue for modern B2B.

Before Tabs, I was an infrastructure engineer at Tower Research Capital and led core software engineering at Latch. I'm a Cornell alum and based in NYC.

I think deeply about vertical AI architecture, the right way to combine LLM reasoning with deterministic logic, and how early-stage companies should build technical foundations that don't collapse under scale. Happy to talk AI product strategy, founding team dynamics, CTO leverage, or what it actually takes to build a defensible AI company and not just a wrapper.
