Hi! I'm Hari Raghavan. I love moving atoms and pennies with bits.

I'm a loyalist to some people, some causes, and all dogs.

I love unblocking bottlenecks, anything that makes the world more efficient or less annoying. I love talking about / working on / investing in anything that can be described as an “API for X”.

What sparks joy at work

Optimizing strategy at the intersection of Product x GTM, especially for complex businesses (data companies, marketplaces, fintech, or new categories)
Compensation approach (especially for tricky roles like founding team / execs)
Fundraising strategy — as both a founder at AbstractOps / Autograph and active investor (out of the Autopilot Fund), we see a lot of data on both sides of the table
How to value and invest in companies with alpha

What sparks joy in life

Debating government / politics in the US, and how one might fix it
Hanging out with my family, friends, and dog
Great wine or cocktail bars
Fantasy novels (huge Brandon Sanderson dork)
Good TV (I’ve seen 200+ shows)

Things I build & maintain
