Builder, Founder, Creator · Based in NJ

Rishabh Dagli

I'm a high school junior building software, hardware, and companies, all while learning how to create custom solutions, from PCB layouts to AI pipelines to live products.

01Work

Things I've built.

Live products, hardware on the bench, and small companies. The first two are where most of my time goes — the rest are shipping or in active development.

03About

A bit about me.

I'm a junior at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North, graduating June 2027. I run an AI consultancy (Impetus AI) and a virtual startup accelerator for high-school founders (SparkLine), and on the side I design custom PCBs and the embedded firmware that runs on them.

Most of my time goes into shipping. I like problems that sit between hardware, AI, and a real business, especially the kind where building something useful matters more than the demo.
