On this week’s episode of Silicon Valley Impact, we have four remarkable women discussing Femtech, startups, leadership, and forging strategic alliances. Joining us in the studio are Nola E. Masterson, Ariel Watson, and Shagun Maheshwari.
Nola is the lead investor of the Portfolia Femtech Fund and a seasoned board member for public, nonprofits companies. With 25+ years of experience, she has served on audit, compensation, and nominating/governance committees, playing a pivotal role in guiding companies through IPOs and startup growth. As Co-chair Emeritus of the Women Corporate Directors Northern California Chapter, Nola has global experience as an investor, entrepreneur, and executive in sales and marketing for scientific products, ranging from diagnostics to genetic analysis tools. Known for her ability to simplify complex scientific concepts for investors and analysts, she brings deep insights into synthetic biology and human nature, paired with a strong sense of market trends and social needs.
Shagun is the Founder and CEO of Papaya, a company dedicated to women's health and sustainability. A mechanical engineer from Duke University, Shagun has a passion for solving complex problems. Before launching Papaya, she worked at Applied Materials in semiconductor manufacturing, Mojo Vision in AR contact lens development, and a stealth-mode biotech startup focused on wearable biomarker monitoring.

She is dedicated to designing digital products that prioritize user well-being while balancing business goals. Currently, Ariel is developing the first fully comprehensive management tool for PMDD, a hormonal mood disorder affecting over 60 million women, which often takes up to 12 years to diagnose due to limited research. Her mission is to empower women by shortening diagnosis timelines, improving PMDD management, closing the gender research gap, and providing valuable data to support further research..

Revolutionizing AI Development: A Q&A with the Founders of Future AGI
Every week I will be interviewing an early-stage founder to talk about their journey building their startups. This week we are featuring an amazing founder Charu Gupta building Future AGI.
GenAI applications in production demand peak performance. At Future AGI, they empower AI development teams with 10X faster evaluations in post-production. Imagine seamless AI error detection; no humans-in-the-loop, no ground truth needed. Automatically detect and address AI output errors, enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of your AI systems.
Q1: Charu, what inspired you to co-found Future AGI?
A: Nikhil and I started Future AGI because we both experienced challenges in developing AI products. I worked as Head of Research at an EdTech company and saw how hard it was to keep AI reliable. Nikhil also faced issues with slow feedback and finding errors in his work as an AI product owner.
When we talked to many AI builders around the world, they confirmed they had similar problems and needed solutions. While big companies had some tools, many didn't have the resources or skills to create effective ones. This gap inspired us to create a product that could help make AI development faster, more accurate, and more user-friendly.
Q2: How does your platform make AI evaluations faster?
A: Our platform speeds up AI evaluations by automatically detecting and fixing errors. Here’s how it works:
Real-time monitoring of AI outputs
Smart algorithms to find problems
Automated data labeling
Continuous feedback to improve models
These features help startups by:
Reducing the time to launch AI products
Cutting down manual error checking
Quickly improving accuracy
Allowing faster testing and changes
With these tools, startups can focus more on developing their main products.
Q3: What specific challenges in AI development does your technology address for early-stage companies?
A: Early-stage companies often struggle to launch their products while managing tight budgets and limited resources. Our technology helps by:
Cutting down the time and effort needed to find and fix errors, which can be very manual and slow for small teams.
Automating data labeling, which is a big bottleneck in training AI models.
Providing continuous feedback for quicker improvements in AI models.
These features let early-stage companies compete better with larger companies that have more resources.
Q4: What are the biggest challenges early-stage startups face when adding AI to their products?
A: From our experience, early-stage startups usually face these challenges:
Not enough quality training data
Lack of AI knowledge and skilled workers
Understanding how models make decisions
Balancing AI work with other tasks
Managing costs and resources
Ensuring AI is reliable and handling unexpected issues
Following ethical and legal guidelines
These challenges can slow down how quickly startups can integrate AI into their products.
Q5: How can startups build responsible AI solutions while still being innovative?
A: I’ve learned that you can build responsible AI and encourage innovation at the same time. Here’s how:
Make ethics a core value from the start.
Be clear about how AI works and can explain its decisions.
Keep learning about ethical issues in AI.
Test your AI thoroughly to find and fix biases.
Use existing tools and platforms that focus on ethical AI.
I remind my team that ethical practices don’t hold back innovation; they actually help us by giving us clear guidelines.
Q6: What trends in AI do you think are promising for investment in the next few years?
A: We believe many businesses will use customized AI models for specific tasks. This is happening now with open-source models like Llama that developers can adjust to fit their needs.
Companies like Apple are already using smaller models for certain tasks, and many large organizations are likely training their own models after trying out generative AI products. This trend opens up a big opportunity for services and tools to help businesses develop tailored AI solutions.
As AI becomes more important for businesses, we expect to see a surge of new ideas and companies in the AI services field, similar to how software companies helped digitize the world over the past few decades. The rise of customizable AI has the potential to change how businesses operate and compete globally.
