Our founding story

Useful AI begins
with trust.

We founded Cull because people deserve a say in what AI keeps about them. Consent and privacy should be part of how the system works, from the beginning.

The Cull founding team: Raj Abhyanker, Matt Ertosun, and Hitesh Gupta

The conviction

Intelligence is useful.
Memory is a choice.

Listening and understanding can create value. A lasting record creates a separate set of questions: who agreed, what belongs in it, and how can those decisions be reviewed?

Cull brings these questions into the workflow. We are starting with conversations and field work, while building toward a reusable real-time intelligence and governance layer for a world of sensing AI.

How we’re building

A shared starting point.

The legal and privacy perspective sits with the builders. Cull is incubated by PatentVC, with a founding team spanning AI, product, and law.

Learn through real work.

Meeting and Recap make the approach tangible. Focused pilots and design partner feedback help shape which intelligence and controls matter next.
