About

I'm Vedant Johari, Co-founder at LunarTree, where we are building AI-driven superintelligence to revolutionize the $500B life sciences industry. My career has been a series of 0-1 leaps—from being the youngest investment banker at Unitus Capital to co-creating Shark Tank India and scaling Rigi to an $80M GMV rocketship. I’m a firm believer in skipping the traditional corporate ladder to build things that actually matter. Currently, I’m focused on human longevity and replacing outdated spreadsheets with autonomous AI research systems. I’m always looking to connect with fellow tinkerers, biopharma leaders, and high-potential generalists who want to automate the world and build generational companies. Whether you're looking for GTM strategy, deep tech insights, or just want to talk about the future of bio-convergence, I'm always open to a conversation.

Opinions

  • The $500B life sciences industry is hampered by outdated tools and is ripe for total replacement by AI.
  • Traditional 'MBA to Consultant' pipelines are inefficient; high-potential individuals should skip the debt to build something generational.
  • Monetization for creators has historically been broken and unfair due to gatekeepers.
