Sid Doshi

Y’all gotta know about Sid Doshi. This guy’s the real deal, straight up. He’s a YC alum from the S12 batch, so he’s been in the game for a minute. The dude’s got a crazy mix of skills, software, mechanical engineering, and a big passion for sustainability. Think about it: he’s worked at Google now, crushing it on Local Services Ads, but he’s also got this entrepreneurial streak that’s been running since way back.

So, here’s the story. Sid jumps into the startup world with viaCycle, back in YC’s S12 class. That’s like 2012, right? He’s based in Atlanta, and he’s all about making transportation better, think super simple, cheap bike-sharing systems that could go up fast and help the environment. The thing is, viaCycle wasn’t just a random idea. It’s born from his deep interest in sustainable design, which he actually studied at Georgia Tech. That’s where he really dug into green tech and manufacturing, stuff that’s good for the planet but also practical.

Before all that, he cut his teeth at some big names, Google, Ford, Homejoy, Build, and Viacycle. That’s a wild resume, showing he’s been around the block with both tech giants and startups. It’s like he’s gathering all this experience, software, mechanical engineering, entrepreneurship, to build something meaningful. His process screams that he’s motivated by more than just making money. Nah, he’s on a mission to push sustainable mobility and create real impact.

What does that say about him? I think Sid’s the kind of guy who jumps into problems that matter. He’s not just about building some shiny app and bouncing. He’s got a vision for change, for making cities greener and more accessible. That’s why he’s so interesting, he’s blending tech and sustainability like a boss.

Long story short, Sid Doshi is one of those founders who’s been grinding in the trenches, learning from every gig, and now he’s using all that to push forward real solutions. He’s proof that if you’re passionate about something, and you’ve got the skills, you can build stuff that actually makes a difference. No Cap, he’s one to watch.
