Who founded AutoStack?
AutoStack was founded in 2025 by four co-founders: Riya (CEO), Bhav (CTO), Trace (COO), and Ananya (CFO). Together they built a digital staffing agency that provides AI employees to understaffed businesses across the United States and Canada. Each AI employee costs $250+/month with no contracts. AutoStack's AI workforce advisor, Otto, diagnoses businesses and recommends a personalised team of 1 to 10 AI employees in under 3 minutes.
The Team
Meet the founders
Four people. One mission. Eliminate understaffing for every business in North America.

Riya
CEO & Co-Founder
Riya leads AutoStack's strategy and product development. Pursuing Psychology and Computer Science, she excels in consumer psychology and building the cognitive architecture behind AutoStack's AI employees. With a background in marketing & tech, Riya has a deep understanding of the staffing challenges businesses face, so she's on a mission to make understaffing a solved problem.
Bhav
CTO & Co-Founder
Bhav architects the technology that powers AutoStack's AI employees. With a background in AI and Data Science, Bhav takes the lead on product builds — from the recommendation engine behind Otto to the inter-agent communication layer that makes our AI employees work as a coordinated team. He ensures that every system is built for scale, is fully secure, and absolutely reliable.
Trace
COO & Co-Founder
Trace runs sales and local networks at AutoStack. With a background in sales and entrepreneurship, Trace handles lead and sales operations, client onboarding, and the systems that get AI employees deployed and delivering results. Trace ensures that what we build actually works in the real world for real businesses.

Ananya
CFO & Co-Founder
Ananya leads financials and strategic partnerships at AutoStack. Pursuing Finance with a background in fintech and fund management, Ananya brings the financial rigour that turns a bold vision into a sustainable business. She oversees budgeting, investor relations, and funding strategy — making sure every dollar deployed drives measurable growth.
Why we started AutoStack
We kept seeing the same story. A business owner working 60-hour weeks. A team stretched so thin that leads slip, customers churn, and growth stalls — not because the business isn't good, but because there aren't enough people to run it.
Hiring is expensive, slow, and uncertain. Outsourcing is unreliable. AI tools are fragmented and require constant oversight. None of these solve the core problem: businesses need more hands, not more software.
So we built AutoStack — a digital staffing agency. AI employees that own entire business functions, work as a coordinated team, starting from $250+/mo each. Otto, our AI concierge, builds your team in under 5 minutes. That's the future we're building.
