Rishub is an associate at Emergence Capital. Prior to Emergence, Rishub was a product manager at Hightouch, a data syncing and martech startup. As an early stage PM, he got to run at problems on every side of the business: from designing database schemas to navigating sales deals. Most importantly, he worked directly under the founders and from them learned what it means to be truly customer-obsessed. To this day, that is still the single trait that gets him most excited about working with early-stage teams.

Prior to Hightouch, Rishub worked as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Palantir and an Engineering Fellow at Kleiner Perkins.

Rishub graduated from New York University where he studied Statistics and Computer Science. In college, he wrote trading algorithms for his school’s quant fund club and competed in the Major League Hackathon Circuit.
