About Gautam Gupta
Several people named Gautam Gupta work in venture and startups. This page uses the Crunchbase record that lists the NavigateAI seed round among its investments. That record is based in Los Angeles, shows the title Chief Financial Officer at Atoms, and lists two personal investments and two founded organizations.
Crunchbase also links this record to A* through partner investments. These include a Series C in Decagon, a Series A in Multiply Mortgage and seed rounds in Grove AI, Fifteenth and Aligned Marketplace. Those deals were made by the A* fund, so they are not personal angel checks. Crunchbase's Multiply Mortgage page lists a Gautam Gupta among its founders. We could not confirm from the sources found that this is the same person, so treat that as unverified.
NFX Signal lists him as a co-investor on the NavigateAI round, with an affiliation to Alex Angels (Alexandria Angel Network). Details of his career, education and prior roles are not clearly public, so we have left them out.
